Key Features
🔒 Your Files Never Leave Your Device
Unlike tools that upload your PDFs to remote servers, our tool processes everything locally in your browser using WebAssembly. No server ever sees your documents — not even us. This makes it one of the most private PDF tools available, completely free.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this appropriate for sensitive client and family information?
Yes — your files are processed entirely in your browser. Client information is never uploaded to or stored on any server.
Can I redact specific client identifiers across a multi-page case file?
Yes — use Search & Redact to find and remove a name or ID number across all pages in one step.
Does it work with case management system-generated PDFs?
Yes — works with any standard PDF from any source.
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.
