Redact PDF

Permanently black out a name, an address, a number: the hidden content is removed from the document, not just covered with a black box.

How it works

Three steps, nothing more.

  1. Step 01

    Drop the PDF you want to redact.

  2. Step 02

    Draw a rectangle over what must disappear, or search for a word, email addresses, phone numbers or IBANs.

  3. Step 03

    Check the preview, then download the redacted document.

What sets it apart

Built for the result.

The content really disappears

Text, images and drawings under each area are removed from the file: neither copy-paste nor search can find them. The rest of the page keeps selectable text.

02

Find everything at once

Search for a name or let the tool spot email addresses, phone numbers, IBANs and card numbers: each match becomes an area you keep or remove.

Accepted formats

Drop them as they are, no conversion needed first.

Privacy

Where your files are processed

With this tool, your file is not transmitted anywhere: not to us, not to any third party. We know neither its name, nor its contents, nor its size.

Nothing is kept, because nothing reaches us.

Frequently asked

What people ask us.

Another question? The contact address is at the bottom of the page.

A box laid on top leaves the text in the file: it can be selected, copied and found by search. Here, the content under the area is removed from the document first, then the box is placed where it was. The resulting document is then checked again to make sure nothing remains under the areas.
