Does it work on a hospital computer or tablet?
Yes — works on any device with a modern browser including Windows, Mac, iPad, and Android tablets.

Are my files safe and private?
Absolutely. Your PDFs never leave your device. All redaction happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly — we never see your files.

True redaction permanently removes the underlying text data from the PDF file. Our tool uses MuPDF to ensure sensitive content is deleted from the file structure, not just hidden visually.
