Redact PDF
Black out sensitive content on PDF pages.
or drag and drop · max 50 MB
Visual redaction only. Black boxes are drawn over the page but the underlying content remains in the file. For legally compliant redaction, use Adobe Acrobat or a dedicated server-side tool.
Draw black redaction boxes over text, images, or any area on a PDF page to hide sensitive information before sharing. Mark multiple regions across multiple pages, then download the redacted PDF. Works entirely in your browser. Important: this tool applies visual redaction only — the original content beneath the black box remains in the file's data. For legally compliant permanent redaction, use a dedicated professional tool.
