Mark what must go
Draw over names, figures, or whole paragraphs across any pages, marking exactly what should never leave the building.
Permanently black out content in PDFs.
Redact PDF lets you black out the parts of a document that cannot be shared and exports a flattened file where the hidden content is truly gone - not just covered with a box that can be dragged away later.

What Redact PDF covers.
Concrete features, inputs, and workflow details for this tool.
Gone, not just hidden
The export is flattened so the redacted content is removed from the file - unlike a black box pasted on top, there is nothing underneath to recover.
A safe document to send
Hand over discovery, records requests, or contracts knowing the protected parts are permanently out of the output.

Before you try Redact PDF
Is PDF redaction reversible?
No. The exported redacted PDF is flattened so the covered content is not recoverable.
