FAQ

Is this secure redaction?
Redacted pages are rendered into local page images after boxes are burned in, then rebuilt into a new PDF so covered text is not copied into the output.
Is the redaction reversible?
No. Redaction is permanent. Download and review the result before sharing it.
Are my PDFs uploaded?
No. Inspection, rendering, redaction, and export run in your browser.
