How to Redact PDF
- Step 1: Upload the PDF containing sensitive information
- Step 2: Choose redaction mode: search for specific text, or manually select areas
- Step 3: Enter search terms (e.g., 'SSN', 'Credit Card', names) or draw redaction boxes
- Step 4: Click 'Redact PDF' to permanently black out the selected content
- Step 5: Download the redacted PDF — the original content is destroyed, not just hidden
💡 Pro tip: True redaction permanently removes the underlying data. Simply covering text with black boxes in a PDF editor does NOT remove the data — it can still be copied. Our tool destroys the content completely.
