Drag over anything sensitive. Unlike drawing black boxes, the text and images underneath are truly removed — nothing to copy, select, or recover.

Frequently asked questions
Is this real redaction or just black boxes?
Real redaction. The text and image content under each marked area is removed from the file itself — unlike drawing black rectangles, which leaves the text selectable and extractable underneath.
How do I verify the redaction worked?
Open the result and try to select or search for the redacted text — it's gone from the document, not hidden. You can also run Extract text to confirm.
