About Redact PDF Document - Permanently Remove Text

Security Warning: Drawing a black box over text does NOT remove it. The text is still there, just hidden. To truly secure your document, you must use a specialized Redaction Tool.

Our tool permanently deletes the underlying text and image data from the file structure, replacing it with a solid black block. Once redacted, the information is gone forever and cannot be recovered.

How to use

Upload your PDF.
Select the "Redact" mode.
Draw rectangles over the sensitive text (SSN, credit card numbers, etc.).
Click "Apply Redaction" to burn the changes.
Download the safe file.
