Secure PDF Redaction

Mark sensitive regions, then generate a new raster-only PDF with those regions permanently covered.

Review every redaction before exporting. This creates a flattened, image-only PDF: original text, hidden objects, forms, links, and metadata are not carried into the output. Redacted text cannot be searched or copied. This tool does not certify that you selected every sensitive item or replace a professional legal/security review.

What happens to the document?
  • The PDF is rendered in your browser and uploaded with your selected redaction boxes for processing.
  • The server burns opaque black masks into sanitized page images and builds a new PDF containing only those images.
  • The server checks page count and compares extracted output text against the source page text before it is offered for download.
  • Temporary source and page-image uploads are removed after processing; output files follow the site's standard expiration policy.
  • Raster-only output is not searchable. If needed, run OCR on the redacted result and inspect it carefully.
