Is this PDF redaction tool really free?

Yes! This is a completely free PDF redaction tool with no subscriptions, no hidden fees, and no freemium restrictions. All features are available to everyone at no cost.

Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?

No, your PDF files are never uploaded to any server. All processing happens locally in your web browser using PDF-lib. Your documents remain completely private and secure on your device.

Are the redactions permanent?

Yes, the redactions are permanent and cannot be reversed. When you apply redactions, the original content underneath is completely removed and replaced with solid colored boxes. The redacted content cannot be recovered from the output PDF.

What file size PDFs can I redact?

The tool can handle PDFs of various sizes, but very large files (over 50MB) may process slowly depending on your device's capabilities. For best performance, we recommend files under 20MB.

Can I redact multiple pages in a PDF?

Yes! The tool supports multi-page PDFs. Use the page navigation controls to move between pages and add redactions to any page. All redactions across all pages will be applied when you download the final document.
