How PDF Redaction Works

Automatic Detection

The tool scans your PDF for patterns matching sensitive information like Social Security Numbers, email addresses, phone numbers, and credit card numbers using regular expressions.

Permanent Redaction

Once applied, redactions are permanent. Black boxes are drawn over sensitive text, making it unreadable and unrecoverable. This is different from just highlighting or covering text.

Custom Patterns

Add your own regex patterns to detect organization-specific sensitive information like internal account numbers, employee IDs, or custom formats.

Features:

  • • Automatic detection of common sensitive patterns
  • • SSN, email, phone, credit card, and date detection
  • • Custom regex pattern support
  • • Permanent, unrecoverable redactions
  • • Multi-page redaction
  • • All processing done locally - your files never leave your device

Warning: This is a demonstration version using simulated redactions. For production use with real sensitive documents, implement proper text extraction and coordinate-based redaction using PDF.js or similar libraries to ensure accurate detection and complete coverage of sensitive information.
