Review full text runs matched by literal search, or select manual regions containing scanned text and graphics. The output is a new image-only PDF. Matching cannot cross separate PDF runs or automatically discover every sensitive item; inspect every exported page.

Scanned text is not detected automatically. Select its visible area manually, review the coverage and inspect the exported page.
No. A secure redaction workflow must ensure the underlying sensitive content is no longer recoverable through normal PDF content access.
Each matched run is covered in full, including neighbouring words stored in that run. Matching cannot span separate runs, and unmatched requested terms block output.
No. Every page is rebuilt as a losslessly embedded image. Selectable text, links, forms, annotations, accessibility data and signatures are lost throughout the output.
Inspect every page visually, including other occurrences of sensitive information. An empty search is insufficient because the whole image-only output has no searchable source text.
No. Selected PDF contents are processed locally in this browser.

A literal match covers its entire transformed text run, which can include neighbouring words. Manual regions cover scan or image content. The entire image-only result has no searchable source text, so an empty search alone does not verify coverage.
Redact PDF covers exact selectable-text matches or manually selected page regions and rebuilds every page as an image-only PDF. The output does not retain the source text layer, links, forms, annotations or cryptographic signatures. Inspect every page and every intended sensitive area before sharing.
Enter an exact name, account number, address, or other value stored as selectable PDF text. Spacing, spelling, and PDF text segmentation affect matching.
Every page is rebuilt as an image, with matching text runs and selected regions covered. Searchable text, links, fields, annotations and cryptographic signatures are not retained anywhere in the new PDF.
Open the actual downloaded copy and inspect every intended sensitive area on every page. Search alone cannot verify redaction because all output pages are images. Keep the original separate and share only the checked copy.
Yes. The current exact-text workflow runs locally without registration, but every result must still be reviewed.
Words in scans cannot be found automatically by this tool's text search. Select manual page regions to cover visible sensitive content, then inspect every exported page. OCR is not required for manual region selection.
A visual cover can leave underlying text recoverable. This tool rebuilds every page without copying source text or interactive structures, but you must still inspect the final copy and confirm all intended areas are covered.
Drag a rectangle over scanned text or other content to remove. Each manual area applies only to the selected page.
