Redact PDF

Black out sensitive information for good. Because we flatten each page to an image, the text under your redactions is truly removed — it can't be copied back out. Free and unlimited.

How to redact pdf

  1. Add your PDF.
  2. Click and drag over anything you want to hide.
  3. Click Apply redactions — the safely redacted file downloads.

Is the hidden text really gone?

Yes. Unlike drawing a black box over text (which can still be selected underneath), we rasterize the page so the underlying text no longer exists in the file.
