How to redact pdf free — no upload, no watermark

Draw boxes, rasterize those pages, and rebuild the PDF. This is not a highlight overlay. This guide is for ProMaxPDF on promaxpdf.pro. The file never leaves your browser — students and businesses use the same local engine.

  1. Open the tool. No account. The page loads the editor in your browser.
  2. Add files. Drop files onto the page. They are read locally and never uploaded.
  3. Redact. Draw black boxes over sensitive areas, then burn and download.
  4. Download. The result is saved to your device. Nothing is stored on a server.

FAQ

Is the text still in the file?

Redacted pages are rasterized, so the underlying text in those pages is destroyed.

Are files uploaded?

No.

Partial pages?

Only pages with redaction boxes are burned. Other pages stay vector.
