Free Redact PDF
Find or mark sensitive content, destroy the original data, and verify a clean disclosure copy. Your upload uses encrypted durable storage when available and a private same-origin processor otherwise. Temporary sources are deleted after each attempt; durable checked results remain recoverable in this browser for up to six hours.

- Find words, phrases, email addresses, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, and valid payment-card patterns across selectable text
- Drag over scans, images, signatures, or handwriting, remove whole pages and ranges, and review every mark with accessible per-region controls
- Choose black, white, or custom covers with optional overlay codes, plus 200 DPI, 300 DPI, or lossless page rebuilding
- Create a maximum-assurance image-only PDF or add a new multilingual OCR layer only after destruction; hidden text, metadata, embedded files, active content, rendering, and page count are checked
Short-lived by design
This tool uses open-source processors in a private temporary workspace that is deleted after each attempt. When durable storage is available, uploads are encrypted and resumable and checked results stay recoverable to this browser for up to six hours. If that storage is unavailable, the same-origin fallback returns the checked result directly. Failed or cancelled job files are removed immediately. Account storage is used only when you explicitly choose Save to Bookify.
