How to use Redact PDF
- Open the tool. No account. The page loads the editor in your browser.
- Add files. Drop files onto the page. They are read locally and never uploaded.
- Redact. Draw black boxes over sensitive areas, then burn and download.
- Download. The result is saved to your device. Nothing is stored on a server.
Frequently asked questions
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?
