Redact Document & PDF

Automatically detect and redact sensitive information from any PDF or photo — powered by on-device AI. No uploads, no cloud processing. Your documents never leave your device.

PDF Redact uses smart detection to find and hide personal information including names, addresses, Social Security numbers, account numbers, phone numbers, email addresses, and more. Just open a PDF, and the app instantly identifies what needs to be redacted.

SMART PRESETS FOR EVERY USE CASE

• Standard PII — Detect all common personal identifiers
• Bank Statement — Hide transactions and account numbers on bank, card, and investment statements while keeping your name, address, and balances visible for loan and rental applications
• Tax Documents — Redact SSNs, EINs, and account numbers from W-2s, 1099s, and 1040s
• Medical / HIPAA — Remove patient identifiers to share medical records safely, including a HIPAA Safe Harbor option that also removes dates
• Legal / Court — Redact names, addresses, and financial details for court filings, with a court-filing format that leaves the last four digits visible as court rules allow

The app automatically detects your document type and applies the right preset.
