Your files never leave your device. All processing happens locally in your browser.

Draw black boxes over anything you want hidden. On export, each page is flattened to an image with the boxes burned into the pixels — so the redacted text is physically destroyed, not just covered. Unlike most free tools, the hidden content can't be copied back or recovered. Everything runs in your browser.

⚠️

Drawing a black box in most PDF editors leaves the text underneath, where it can be copied out. This tool flattens the page so it's truly gone.

🔍

After exporting, the text is no longer selectable or searchable anywhere — verify by trying to select text in the result.

📑

Redact names, account numbers, and privileged passages before sharing discovery or court filings.

🔒

Confidential legal files are processed entirely in your browser — never uploaded to a server.
