Frequently Asked Questions
Does this tool permanently remove the redacted content?
Yes. Pages containing redactions are rasterized (converted to images), which permanently removes the underlying text data. The redacted content cannot be selected, copied, or recovered. Non-redacted pages remain unchanged.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. Your PDF is processed entirely in your browser. The file never leaves your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.
Can I redact multiple pages at once?
Yes! You can navigate between pages and add redaction boxes to any page. All redactions across all pages are applied when you download the file.
What types of content can I redact?
You can redact any visible content in the PDF: text, images, signatures, dates, addresses, phone numbers, or any other information you want to hide.
Is there a file size or page limit?
You can process PDFs up to 100 MB with up to 500 pages. Since everything runs in your browser, very large files may take slightly longer to process.
