PDF Redactor & Sensitive Data Eraser

Drag boxes over names, ID numbers, phone numbers or signatures. The boxes are burned permanently into the exported pages, so the hidden text can never be selected, copied or recovered.

100% Client-Side Redaction: Your sensitive document never leaves your browser and is zero-uploaded to any server.

How to Use PDF Redactor & Sensitive Data Eraser

  1. Step 1

    Add your input

    Paste text, enter values or choose a file from your device. PDF Redactor & Sensitive Data Eraser loads it instantly — nothing is uploaded.

  2. Step 2

    Adjust the options

    Fine-tune the settings and watch the result update live in your browser as you make changes.

  3. Step 3

    Copy or download

    Grab the result with one click. Downloads are generated locally and saved straight to your device.

Choose a PDF and every page is rendered as a high-resolution preview right inside the page. Pick your redaction colour — solid black is the standard for official documents, but you can also use white to blank an area out or any custom colour you like — then simply click and drag a rectangle over anything sensitive: a customer name, passport or ID number, bank details, an address, a phone number or a handwritten signature. Boxes can be drawn on any page, as many as you need, and Undo box or Clear selections lets you correct a mistake instantly.

When the document looks right, use Preview redacted PDF to check the result, then Download redacted PDF. The export does not simply place a shape on top of the original text — each page is flattened into a fresh image with the boxes painted permanently into it, so the words underneath no longer exist in the file and cannot be selected, copied, searched or recovered by removing a layer. Everything happens inside your browser tab; the document is never uploaded.
