Redact PDF Documents - Remove Personal Information Before Sharing
Protect sensitive information in PDF documents by drawing black boxes over personal data, account numbers, addresses, and other private details. This browser-based PDF redactor processes files entirely on your device with no uploads required.
Why Redact PDFs?
PDFs often contain sensitive information like Social Security numbers, bank account details, addresses, phone numbers, or personal identifiers. Redacting this information before sharing PDFs helps protect your privacy and prevents identity theft or data breaches.
How It Works
Upload your PDF, navigate through pages, and draw black boxes over areas you want to redact. The tool supports multi-page PDFs and allows you to select specific pages for export. After redacting, export as a PDF or individual images. All processing happens in your browser.
Privacy & Security
Your PDFs never leave your device. All processing happens locally using PDF.js and HTML5 Canvas. You can verify this by checking your browser's Network tab - no uploads occur when you load, edit, or export PDFs. Perfect for sensitive documents.
Note: This tool uses visual redaction (black boxes drawn on images). For legal or compliance-grade redaction where text must be cryptographically removed, we're working on a Legal-Grade PDF Redaction tool that performs content-level redaction (not visual). Coming soon.
