Redact PDF — Black Out Sensitive Text in Your Browser
Sharing a contract, bank statement, or ID scan? Don’t just cover sensitive bits with a marker in an image editor — redact the PDF itself. Upload your document, flip through page previews, drag black boxes over anything private, and export a new PDF with the regions permanently covered. Your file never leaves your browser.
Redact PDF
Draw black boxes over sensitive regions on page previews — export a permanently redacted PDF.
1 Add your PDF
2 Draw redaction boxes
3 Apply redaction & download
✅ Done — your redacted PDF
How it works
- Step 1 — Drop in one PDF — contracts, statements, scans, anything.
- Step 2 — Flip through the page previews and drag boxes over names, account numbers, signatures, or anything private. Pick black, white, or gray coverage, and clear per page or all at once.
- Step 3 — Hit “Redact & Download PDF” to export a new PDF with every marked region permanently covered. Your file never leaves your browser.
Everyday uses
- Job seekers — share resumes with salary history or references blacked out.
- Freelancers — send contracts with rates hidden from third parties.
- Tenants & buyers — share bank statements with account numbers covered.
- HR teams — anonymize CVs before panel reviews.
Rule of thumb: draw boxes slightly larger than the text you’re hiding — a tight box can leak the first or last character at the edges. Always re-open the exported PDF and double-check every page before sharing.
Privacy note: redaction boxes are drawn permanently onto the exported PDF — but this tool covers regions visually; for legally bulletproof redaction of text layers, verify the output in your PDF reader before relying on it.
