Redact PDF text for real
Blackout boxes are burned into a re-rendered page image on export, so the underlying text is not left in the file for copy-paste. Use this for IDs, addresses, and other sensitive lines before sharing. Step-by-step: how to redact a PDF privately.
When to use sign vs redact
Use Sign to approve documents. Use Redact to permanently hide content. You can combine both on the same PDF in one session — signatures remain visible while you draw blackout boxes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is redaction permanent?
Yes. Pages with blackout boxes are re-rendered as images so the hidden text is not selectable or recoverable from the downloaded PDF.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Signing and redacting run entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
Can I draw my signature?
Yes. Draw on the pad or type your name, then click the page to place it. Drag to move; resize with the corner handle.
Is this free?
Yes. Free, no account, no watermarks.
