Auto Redact PDFs using AI, while you stay in control

Manually redacting PDFs is tedious. AI can help, but isn't perfect. We strike the balance by letting you review, edit and add your own redactions before downloading.

First 10 pages free. No signup or card needed. Supports 100+ languages.

Bank-Grade Security. AI-Powered. Human-Approved

All data are AES-256 encrypted and stored in the EU. Advanced AI and OCR assist with redaction, but nothing is finalized without your review. You stay in full control, always.

GDPR-Compliant

Built in the UK, fully GDPR-compliant. Your PDFs are stored securely in the EU on Google Cloud servers. Your data is never used for anything else, and you can delete it anytime.

Encrypted and Secure

All PDFs & data are protected with AES-256 encryption. PDFs are only temporarily decrypted in memory for the sole purpose of applying redactions, after which they are securely re-encrypted.

Irreversible Redactions

All redactions are permanent and irreversible in the final PDF, and we scrub all metadata, leaving nothing behind.

Google Gemini Powered

We use Google's Gemini AI models to identify context-specific sensitive data, so nothing slips through the cracks.

OCR-Enabled

Works with scanned PDFs and images. Our OCR technology extracts text from documents that aren't digitally searchable, ensuring comprehensive redaction coverage.

Detailed Redaction Logs

Every redaction comes with AI-generated reasoning and detailed logs. Download CSV reports showing what was redacted, why, and any manual edits for compliance and auditing.

AI Makes the First Move, but You Have the Final Say

Review every AI redaction, choose what to keep or discard, and easily add your own by searching or drawing redaction boxes before you download the final file.
