Information
How to use Redact PDF
Drag over each area with sensitive content, across as many pages as needed, then click Redact PDF.
Why it helps
Marked areas are rebuilt as images first, so the covered text genuinely can't be copied out afterward.
No installation required
No signature app or PDF editor to install — draw, type, or place elements directly on the page here.
Your files stay private
Signed and edited documents are processed for this request only; we don't keep a copy after you download.
Works on any device
Sign a lease from your phone or edit a contract from a work laptop — the tool works the same either way.
Frequently asked questions
Does redacting a PDF actually remove the hidden text, or just cover it?
It actually removes it — marked areas are rebuilt as images first, so the underlying text genuinely can't be copied or recovered afterward.
Can I redact multiple areas across multiple pages?
Yes, drag over as many areas as needed across as many pages as the document has, then redact them all in one pass.
Is redacting a PDF here reversible?
No — once redacted and downloaded, the covered content is permanently gone from that file, which is the point of true redaction.
