Redactly: Redact PDF

Need to black out an account number, address or signature in a PDF before you share it? Redactly lets you draw redaction boxes and exports a new PDF where that content is actually removed — not just covered up.

Open a PDF, drag to draw black boxes over anything private, page by page, and tap Apply Redaction. Then share the redacted copy or save it to Files.

• TRUE REMOVAL — every page with a redaction box is flattened into an image with solid black over your boxes, so the hidden text can't be selected, copied, searched or uncovered by deleting a shape.
• DRAW WITH A FINGER — drag to draw a box over text, numbers, photos or signatures; touch and hold a box to remove it, or clear a whole page and start again.
• ALL YOUR PAGES — move between pages with the page strip and redact as many pages as you need, up to 300 pages per PDF.
• OTHER PAGES STAY SHARP — pages without boxes are copied as they are, so their text stays crisp and selectable, and their links and bookmarks are kept.
• NO HIDDEN LEFTOVERS — comments and form annotations are not copied back onto redacted pages — a redacted page carries only what you see on it.
• SHARE OR SAVE — send the redacted PDF by Mail or Messages, or save it to Files. Your original file isn't changed.

Honest scope: you choose what to redact — Redactly doesn't search for or detect sensitive text automatically, so check every page. Redacted pages become images, so their remaining text is no longer selectable. Password-protected PDFs need to be unlocked first.

Everything happens on your iPhone. Your documents are not uploaded and no account is needed.

Redacting and previewing are free: check every redacted page before you pay. A one-time $4.99 purchase unlocks saving and sharing the redacted PDF. No subscription, no ads.
