Redact PDF Online
Black out sensitive text and images for good — redacted content is removed, not just hidden under a box.
How it works
- Choose or drop your PDF.
- Drag boxes over everything you want to remove, on any page.
- Press Redact PDF and download the redacted copy.
Frequently asked questions
Is the redacted text really gone?
Yes. Every page you redact is rebuilt as an image with the boxes burned in, so the hidden text can't be selected, copied, searched or recovered. Pages without boxes are left exactly as they were.
Why does a redacted page's text stop being selectable?
That is what makes the redaction permanent: the page is flattened into an image. Other pages keep their selectable text.
Is my original file changed?
No. You get a new redacted copy; the original stays in your library until you delete it.
Are my files uploaded?
