⬛ Permanently black out sensitive content
Redact PDF
Draw black boxes over sensitive text or images, then export — the page is flattened to an image so the covered content is genuinely gone, not just hidden underneath.
Your file never leaves your browser — all redacting happens on your device.

Everything happens in your browser — your file is never uploaded.
How it works
- Upload a PDF.
- Drag over any sensitive text or images to draw a solid black box; click a box to remove it.
- Download the redacted PDF. Every page — with or without a box — is flattened to an image, so there is no leftover vector text anywhere in the file: what's covered is genuinely erased, not just hidden underneath (clean version with the Tools Pass).
