Draw black rectangles over sensitive content - the redacted area is permanently obscured in the output PDF. Unlike highlighting / blacking-out in a PDF editor (which can be removed), our redaction merges into the page content and can't be peeled off. Crucial for sharing redacted documents legally.
When to use this
Use for: legal discovery (redacting privileged content), sharing contracts with confidential terms removed, redacting personal info (SSN, Aadhaar, bank accounts) before sharing on forums / social media, prepping company docs for external review.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the redacted content really unrecoverable?
Yes - we burn the redaction into the page content (not as a removable annotation). Combined with stripping the document's text layer for redacted regions, the original text is unrecoverable. Verify by selecting / searching the redacted area in the output PDF - it'll be empty.
