Redact PDF

Permanently strip confidential passages from a PDF: the content is deleted, not merely covered up. Processed on an isolated server.

The Redact PDF tool permanently removes confidential information, with rasterization and real object removal on an isolated server.

Redaction is permanent: the marked content is truly removed from the document, not just covered by a rectangle. The tool also validates that extractable text was eliminated.

This tool sends data to a server and needs a connection during processing. The worker attempts to remove temporary files after the task. Immediate deletion is not guaranteed if a failure occurs.

It is essential for protecting IDs, addresses, amounts and other sensitive data before publishing or sending documents to third parties.

When to use it

Hiding document numbers and personal data before publishing a file.

Redaction is final; removed data cannot be recovered.
Content in images may require careful marking to ensure complete removal.

Step by step

Select the PDF.

Download the document with the information removed.
