About Redact PDF
Redacting means permanently removing sensitive information — not just hiding it behind a black box that can be copied or deleted later. This free tool blacks out text, images and data in a PDF so it's genuinely gone from the file before you share it. It's essential for sending documents that contain personal details, account numbers or names you need to keep private. Everything runs in your browser, so the original never leaves your device.
