Redact PDF Documents Online

Permanently remove sensitive information from PDFs by blacking out selected areas. True redaction removes the underlying content — not just a visual cover — so data cannot be recovered.

How to redact a PDF

  1. Upload your PDF.
  2. Drag a black box over areas to redact.
  3. Review all redactions before applying.
  4. Click Apply to permanently remove content and download.

Frequently asked questions

Is redaction permanent?
Yes. Content is permanently removed, not hidden.
Why not just draw a black box?
Drawing covers text visually but leaves it discoverable by copy-paste. True redaction removes the underlying data.
Can I redact images?
Yes. Draw a redaction box over any image area.
What are common uses?
Removing personal data from contracts, hiding confidential figures, anonymizing records.
