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
Does this work on iPhone without downloading an app?
Yes — it runs entirely in Safari. No App Store download required.
Which iPhone models are supported?
Any iPhone running iOS 14 or later with Safari supports our tool. iPhone X through the latest models all work.
Can I redact PDFs on iPad too?
Yes — the same tool works on iPad in Safari with full touchscreen support. The larger screen makes it even easier to draw precise redaction boxes.
Is it as good as a dedicated iPhone PDF app?
For redaction specifically, yes. Unlike many apps, our tool creates permanent redactions that delete underlying text data — not just visual overlays.
