    03

    04

    Apply & Save

    Click 'Apply Redactions' to permanently remove the data and download.

    Permanent Data Removal

    Unlike simply putting a black box over text in a standard editor, our redaction tool permanently removes the underlying data from the PDF file structure. Once "Applied", the hidden information is gone forever and cannot be recovered by highlighting or searching.

    Auto-Detection for Privacy

    Save time with our built-in pattern recognition. Our tool can automatically detect and mark credit card numbers, email addresses, and phone numbers for redaction, ensuring you never miss a sensitive piece of personal data.

    Safe & Secure Redaction

    Protect your privacy with enterprise-grade redaction tools that run entirely in your local browser.

    100% In-browser processing
    No server-side file storage
    Permanent data sanitization

    Confidentiality Assured

    At PDFVertex, we understand that redaction is about trust. That's why our tool never uploads your files to our servers. Every box you draw and every byte we remove happens on your machine. Your sensitive documents stay exactly where they belong: with you.
