Black out sensitive text and areas in a PDF and remove the content underneath for good.
Find & mark text
Untick to scroll freely through pages on a touch screen.
Redacted pages are converted to images, so their text can no longer be selected or searched. Pages without redactions are unchanged.
Drag on a page to draw a box. Tap × on a box to remove it.
Redaction That Actually Removes the Text
Drawing a black box over text in most editors leaves the words underneath, where anyone can copy them out. This tool turns each page you redact into an image with the marked areas painted over, so nothing under the box survives in the file.
Completely Private
Everything happens inside your browser using pdf.js and pdf-lib. The document you are redacting is never uploaded to a server.
Key Features
- Search for words, emails or numbers and mark every match
- Draw boxes over signatures, photos or any other area
- Redacted pages are rebuilt as images, so the hidden text is gone
- Pages without redactions stay unchanged and searchable
- Document metadata is cleared from the output
