Redact a PDF — Permanently Hide Sensitive Text
Redaction means permanently removing confidential information from a document before you share it — names, account numbers, addresses, signatures or anything private. This tool lets you draw black boxes over any part of your PDF and burns them permanently into the page, so the hidden content cannot be copied, selected or revealed underneath.
How it works
Upload your PDF, then simply drag to draw a box over each piece of information you want to hide. When you download, the boxes become a solid, permanent part of the page. Unlike simply highlighting in black in some editors, this genuinely covers the area in the saved file.
Private and free
Everything happens in your browser — your confidential document is never uploaded anywhere. Free, no signup, no watermark, and it works on any device.
