Frequently Asked Questions

Is this real redaction, or does the text still hide underneath?
It is real redaction. Many tools just draw a black rectangle on top, which leaves the original text sitting underneath where anyone can copy or extract it. This tool rasterizes every page to an image with the black boxes already burned into the pixels, then rebuilds the PDF from those images. The covered content is gone from the file and cannot be recovered.
Does my file get uploaded anywhere?
No. Your PDF is opened, redacted, and saved entirely in your browser on your own device. It is never sent to a server, never stored, and never seen by us. That is exactly why it is safe for confidential contracts, tenders, and NDA drawings, the content stays on your machine.
Will the redacted PDF still have selectable text?
No, and that is the point. To make the redaction permanent, each page is converted to an image, so the result has no live, selectable or searchable text anywhere. If you need a searchable document, keep your original and use the redacted copy only for sharing.
Can I redact more than one area or more than one page?
Yes. Draw as many boxes as you need on a page, flip through every page with the arrows, and add boxes wherever sensitive content appears. When you download, all the boxes across all the pages are burned in at once.
