Redact PDF

Cover sensitive areas with black boxes.

Before sharing a document publicly or in a filing, you often need to hide names, account numbers, or other private details. Redaction covers those areas with solid black boxes.

You draw boxes over the regions to hide, and the redaction is applied right in your browser for privacy.

How to redact a PDF

1. Choose the PDF you want to redact.
2. Draw black boxes over each area to hide.
3. Review every page so nothing sensitive is missed.
4. Download the redacted PDF.
