True redaction
Hidden content is removed, not just covered.
Black out sensitive information so it can never be recovered.
Free · No watermark · Your file never leaves your device
Redacting a PDF permanently removes sensitive information, such as account numbers, addresses, names or signatures, before you share a document. Simply drawing a black rectangle over text in a PDF editor does not redact it: the original text usually remains underneath and can be copied or searched. SuperPrompts' free Redact PDF tool lets you drag boxes over anything you want hidden, then burns the black boxes into flattened page images, so the hidden content is truly gone and cannot be selected, copied or recovered. Because the output pages are flattened, the rest of the text is also no longer selectable, which is the safest trade-off for documents leaving your hands. Redaction runs in your browser.
