Opening Redact PDF…
No uploads. Runs entirely in your browser.
Permanently purge sensitive text bytes while maintaining searchable OCR for non-redacted text.
Is redacted text completely unrecoverable by ChatGPT or AI tools?
Yes. Text inside redaction zones is stripped directly from the PDF content stream and burned into static black pixels. Redacted words do not exist anywhere in the file bytes, making recovery impossible.
How does the non-redacted text remain searchable with OCR?
Our engine extracts the precise coordinates of non-redacted text and re-injects a clean, invisible text layer on top of the output PDF. All remaining text stays 100% searchable, copyable, and OCR-compatible.
Are my documents processed locally?
Yes. All text parsing, stream sanitization, and image flattening happen 100% client-side in your browser memory. Your files are never uploaded to any cloud server.
