Redact PDF
Permanently black out sensitive areas — entirely in your browser.
A black box drawn in a PDF viewer often just sits on top of the text underneath — the original content is still selectable and copyable beneath it. Redact PDF actually flattens the page, so what's covered is gone for good, not hidden.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the redacted content really removed, not just covered?
Yes — the page is flattened so the covered content can't be recovered by selecting text or lifting the black box in another PDF editor.
Can I redact different areas on different pages?
Yes — step through the pages and add as many redaction boxes as you need on each one.
