Frequently asked questions
Is blacking out text with a shape enough?
No. A shape only covers the text, and anyone can select or copy what is underneath. True redaction deletes the underlying text, which is what this tool does.
Should I check the redacted file afterwards?
Yes. Open the result, search for the removed words and try to copy text from the blacked areas. Also scan for variants, such as nicknames or different spellings, that you did not list.
Why was a name not removed?
The match depends on the exact words you typed, so a different spelling, spacing or an image of text can be missed. Add each variation to the list, and use a visual check for scanned pages.
Is Redact PDF free?
Yes. Redact PDF on Toolipedia is free to use, with no sign-up and no watermark.
Is it safe to use?
Yes. Your files travel over an encrypted connection, are processed automatically, and are deleted as soon as the result is ready. Nobody looks at them.
