PDF Redaction
Permanently black out sensitive text in your PDF.
Search for these words
This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your file is never sent anywhere.
Only matching text is blacked out; underlying text is removed on export.
Type the words you want hidden and this tool finds every occurrence across all pages, painting solid black boxes over them before you export. The removed text no longer appears in the output.
Frequently asked questions
Is the hidden text really removed?
Yes. The matching text is covered with a permanent black rectangle in the exported file, not merely hidden.
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
It works on PDFs that contain text. Scanned pages without a text layer cannot be searched for words.
