Hiding personal info before sharing
Bank statements, pay stubs, and IDs all contain numbers you don't need to share. Black out the account number or SSN and send the rest.

How it works
Three steps to a redacted copy that's safe to share.
1
Open your PDF
Drop a single PDF up to 100 MB. Pages render right in your browser so you can scroll to the part you need to redact.
2
Draw over what should disappear
Click and drag a black box across names, account numbers, addresses, or signatures. Add as many boxes as you need across any pages.
3
Download the clean copy
Click Download and the redactions are flattened into the page. The underlying text and image data is gone, not just hidden behind a rectangle.
What people use it for
Cleaning up contracts before review
Send a contract to a third party without exposing pricing, counterparty names, or other terms that aren't relevant to them.
Preparing documents for FOIA or legal disclosure
Redact names, addresses, and other identifying details from documents before handing them over in a public records request or discovery.
Removing signatures and stamps from sample documents
Reusing a filled-in form as a template? Redact the signatures and any handwritten entries before passing it on.

Frequently asked questions
Gone. The redaction is flattened into the page when you download, so the underlying text characters and image pixels in that rectangle are no longer in the file. Copy-paste, search, and screen readers will not be able to recover what was there.
