How to use Redact PDF online

Redact PDF permanently removes confidential information such as account numbers, addresses or names. Redacted content is deleted from the file, not just hidden under a black box.

  1. Select your PDF.
  2. Drag over areas to redact, or type words to find, or pick patterns like emails and phone numbers.
  3. Review the marks on each page.
  4. Click "Redact PDF" and download the cleaned PDF.

Why use PDFILOVE Redact PDF?

Your file is processed inside your own browser, so it is never uploaded to our servers.

Frequently asked questions

Is the redacted text really gone?

Yes. Redacted areas are turned into an image with the content removed, so the text cannot be copied or recovered.

Can I redact all occurrences of a word?

Yes. Type the word and every match is marked automatically.

Can I find phone numbers and emails automatically?

Yes. Choose the matching patterns and they are marked for you.
