Security & confidentiality
Redaction is only as good as what it leaves behind. Here is exactly what happens to your document.
Secure
Redacted text, images, and vectors are physically removed, with no hidden layer to recover.
On your device
Manual redaction runs in your browser. Your PDF is never uploaded.
Metadata stripped
Document info and XMP metadata are cleared from the output.
Nothing stored
We keep no copy of your document, your redactions, or their contents.
Most “redacted” PDFs aren’t.
A black box drawn on top is not redaction. The text stays in the file, and anyone can copy it straight back out. We remove the content for good, in your browser, with no hidden text layer to recover.
