Frequently Asked Questions
Is the redaction permanent?
Yes, redaction is permanent and irreversible. The redacted content is completely removed from the PDF and cannot be recovered. Always keep a copy of the original file if needed.
What types of content can I redact?
You can redact text content (blacked out), embedded images (removed or blacked out), and document metadata (author, title, creation date, etc.). Select the options that match your needs.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes, our PDF redaction tool is completely free with no limits on usage. No signup or account is required.
Are my files secure during redaction?
Absolutely. Your files are processed entirely in your browser and are never uploaded to our servers. Your sensitive documents remain completely private.
Can I selectively redact specific text or areas?
Currently, our tool applies redaction options to the entire document. For selective redaction of specific words or areas, we recommend using a desktop PDF editor alongside this tool.
