Redaction is performed locally, and the output is rebuilt so text beneath the selected area is not merely hidden. Sensitive source pages are not uploaded.
Check these before you start
- You must identify the correct page and rectangle; automatic entity detection is not included.
- The redacted output is rasterized to prevent hidden text recovery, which can increase size.
- Review every redaction visually before sharing the result.
Remove an account number
- Input
- A statement with an account number at a known location on page 1
- Result
- A verified sharing copy with that region permanently covered and non-extractable.
