Frequently Asked Questions
Is this secure for business contracts and financial documents?
Yes — all processing is browser-only. Your business documents never leave your device.
Can I redact price figures from a multi-page contract?
Yes — draw redaction boxes over specific areas, or use Search & Redact for text-based removal.
Does it work with contracts from DocuSign or Adobe Sign?
Yes — works with any standard PDF. Note that redacting a digitally signed PDF will invalidate the signature.
Is this PDF redactor completely free?
Yes, 100% free. No account needed, no watermarks, no file size limits. All processing happens in your browser.
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.
What is the difference between redaction and drawing a black box?
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.
