Protecting client confidentiality or personal data is non-negotiable. Our Redact PDF toolallows you to permanently black out text and images before sharing.
- Permanent Removal: Unlike drawing a black box in a viewer, our tool completely removes the underlying data so it cannot be recovered.
- Secure Blackout: Safely hide social security numbers, addresses, financial figures, or names from public documents.
- Easy to Use: Simply draw a box over the sensitive area. We handle the technical removal for you.
- Client-Side Only: Crucial for sensitive data usage—the redaction happens in your browser. The unmodified file never reaches a server.
