Redact PDF

Redact a PDF in your browser — draw boxes over sensitive areas and flatten them so the content is gone, not just hidden. No upload, no signup.

Black out sensitive content in a PDF by drawing boxes over it, without uploading the file. Marked pages are flattened so the covered text and pixels are permanently removed from the page image — not just covered with a black rectangle that someone could move or remove. Useful for redacting names, account numbers or addresses before sharing a document. Everything runs in your browser, so the file stays private. Free, no account, no watermark.

How it works

  1. Open a PDF from your device
  2. Draw boxes over sensitive areas
  3. Pages flatten, removing the content
  4. Download the redacted PDF
