Password Protect PDF
Lock a PDF with a password (AES-256 encryption).
Permanently deletes the matching characters. A black box would leave them selectable underneath.
Redact PDF
Up to 100 MB. Both the upload and the result are deleted an hour later.
Must contain real text - run OCR first if it is a scan.
One per line. Every match on every page is removed.
Try selecting the redacted term in the result - it should not be there.
Completely. A black rectangle sits on top - the text is still in the file and can be copied straight out from underneath it. That mistake has leaked real documents. This deletes the underlying characters before saving.
Yes, and you should. Open the result and try to select or search for the redacted term. If nothing is found, it is genuinely gone.
No. A scan is an image with no text to find - run OCR first so there is real text, then redact.
It removes every match of the terms you give, across all pages. It cannot know about information you did not list, so review the result before sharing it.
Redact a PDF by permanently deleting the matching characters rather than covering them. This distinction matters more than almost anything else in PDF handling: drawing a black rectangle leaves the original text sitting in the file, selectable and copyable from underneath, and that exact mistake has exposed real confidential documents. Here the glyphs are removed before the file is written. Because it searches real text, a scanned document needs OCR first, and you should always verify by trying to select the redacted term afterwards.
