Sobre esta ferramenta
Redact PDF allows you to manually draw blackout boxes over sensitive areas, images, signatures, or text in any PDF document. This is ideal for censoring visual details, handwritings, or selective fields in scanned documents.
You can drag and draw black redaction rectangles on any page, page-by-page. Set custom blackout colors or specify overlay text like "[REDACTED]" to display on top of censored zones.
All processing happens client-side in your browser, enabling fast edits on large files while guaranteeing absolute privacy.

Perguntas frequentes
What is the difference between this and search-based redaction?
Search-based redaction automatically finds text matches, whereas this tool lets you manually highlight any rectangular region (text, drawings, or photos) on the page to blackout.
Are big files supported?
Yes. The tool renders pages incrementally page-by-page, allowing you to edit and redact very large documents without crashing your browser tab.
Can I undo a redaction box?
Yes, while editing, hover over any drawn redaction box and click the delete trash icon to remove it before saving.
