Redact PDF

Runs on your device

Permanently remove names, IDs, phone numbers and other sensitive details from a PDF. Draw over what to hide and download a copy with the text truly gone, not just covered. Digital PDFs are redacted right in your browser; scanned PDFs use a secure upload to find the text (a paid feature).
