Drawing a black box over text in most editors only covers it; the words can still be copied out. Redact PDF removes the content under the box for good, so account numbers, Aadhaar and PAN numbers, phone numbers and addresses are really gone.
Redact before sharing documents with third parties, uploading to portals or publishing.
Text and images under the box are removed.
Draw boxes anywhere.

No upload.

It works on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone, and you can install it like an app to open PDFs with a double-click.
