Redact PDF
Mark names, account numbers or other sensitive areas, then download a fresh PDF. Unlike visual whiteout, this export does not include the original PDF page objects or text.
Check the result carefully. The saved pages are flattened images, so their original text will no longer be selectable or searchable. Redaction removes only the areas you mark.
Up to 25 MB and 25 pages. Your file is processed on this device; nothing is uploaded.

How to redact safely
- Choose a PDF and drag across each area that should disappear.
- Use Next to inspect every page, then download the new file.
- Open the download and inspect every page at full size before sharing it.
The whole PDF is rebuilt from visible pixels. Embedded text, annotations, attachments and form fields are not copied into the downloaded file. The output may be larger than the original.
Need ordinary editing instead? The editor's whiteout is only a visual cover and must not be used for confidential information.
