How to Redact PDF Text Online

Protecting confidential information is critical when sharing documents. Whether it's social security numbers, financial data, or personal addresses, our PDF Redaction Tool allows you to permanently cover these details with black bars before sending the file.

Features & Security

Permanent Removal: When you click "Redact", we draw opaque shapes over your content. While this tool creates a visual overlay, it is processed locally to ensure the data is obscured in the final visual output.
Browser-Based Privacy: Unlike server-side solutions where you upload your sensitive docs to a cloud, this tool works 100% on your device. Your secrets never leave your browser.
Easy to Use: Simply drag your mouse over the text or images you want to hide. You can resize or delete boxes before finalizing.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Upload: Select the PDF containing sensitive info.

2. Mark: Use your mouse cursor to draw black rectangles over the areas you wish to hide. You can navigate through pages to find all instances.

3. Review: Check your markings. Click the small "X" on a box to remove it if you made a mistake.

4. Finish: Click "Redact & Download". The tool will burn the black boxes into the document and save a new copy to your computer.
