Regulatory Compliance

Make your documents GDPR, HIPAA, FOIA, GLBA, FERPA or CCPA compliant. Our PDF Redaction tool allows custom document redaction levels based on your compliance needs.

AI Powered

Our PDF redaction protects your sensitive documents by utilizing advanced AI technology to automatically identify and remove confidential data based on your selected redaction profile.

Secure & Private

Your documents and files are handled securely throughout the process. All files are encrypted in transit and at rest using industry-standard AES-256 encryption. We automatically delete them from our servers after processing.

Preserves Document Integrity

Redact only what’s necessary while keeping the rest of your PDF intact, unchanged, and preserve the original quality. You can further compress it, or convert to PDF/A if needed.

Simple & Fast

Our PDF Redaction tool completely removes sensitive content from a document's text layers in just a few seconds. Simply select what you want to redact, apply changes, and download your clean PDF.

Permanent Redaction

Our PDF Redactor allows you to securely and permanently mask and remove sensitive content from your PDF so it can’t be copied or recovered.

How does PDF redaction work?

Our tool permanently removes the desired content from your PDF file. Once redacted, this information cannot be recovered or made visible again.

Is redacting a PDF secure?

Yes. Your documents are processed securely and automatically deleted from our servers after processing. Only you have access to your files.

Can I redact a password-protected PDF?

Absolutely. Simply upload your password-protected PDF, enter the password when prompted, and then proceed with redaction as usual.

What’s the difference between redacting and flattening a PDF?

Flattening removes interactivity but keeps content visible. Redaction removes sensitive content permanently, making it invisible and irretrievable.

How can I redact other document types?

If you want to redact a Word document, image, or an email, simply convert it to PDF first.
