Free PDF Redactor — No Upload, No Watermark, Permanent
The PDF Redactor permanently removes sensitive content from PDF files without uploading them to a server. Draw redaction boxes manually on any page, or use Search & Redact to find and cover every instance of a word or phrase across the entire document. Auto-detect PII buttons find SSNs, email addresses, phone numbers, and credit card numbers using pattern matching — all client-side. Four redaction modes cover every use case — Blackout for full opaque coverage, Whiteout for form-style fills, Pixelate for layout-visible obscuring, and Blur for softer masking. Export rebuilds the PDF entirely from rendered page images, permanently stripping the original searchable text layer, annotations, comments, and all document metadata. No upload. No watermark. No account. Works on up to 150 pages.
