That black box you draw over sensitive text in most PDF tools? The text is still there, selectable and copyable. It's how the TSA leaked an airport screening manual, and how a 2019 court filing exposed the exact data a defense team tried to keep sealed. A black rectangle isn't redaction. This tool actually removes the content, then checks its own work before handing back the file.
Upload a PDF, mark the regions to remove, download the result. Nothing is kept.
Yes, completely, no limit.
No. Your file is uploaded, processed, and discarded right after your download completes, nothing is retained.
Most "redaction" tools draw a black box over text but leave the underlying content extractable via copy-paste or search, a documented failure that has burned journalists, the TSA, and court filings alike. This tool actually removes the text and image content in the marked region, then re-checks its own output and refuses to return a file it can't verify is clean, rather than risk shipping incomplete redaction.
Pages rotated 90 or 270 degrees aren't supported yet, rotate them to standard orientation first (see PDF Tools). PDF form field values and complex vector graphics aren't scrubbed. Redacting a tagged (accessible) PDF removes its accessibility structure tree entirely, since that structure can carry duplicate text outside the normal content stream. If a page can't be verified clean, it's rejected instead of guessed at.
