PDF schwärzen
Permanently hide sensitive information in a PDF. Draw black boxes on the pages, or type words to black out every place they appear. Marked pages are rebuilt as pictures, so the hidden text is really gone and cannot be copied.

Häufige Fragen
Is the text under the boxes really removed?
Yes. Every page that has a black box is drawn as a picture with the boxes burned in, and the original page (with its text and vectors) is not kept in the new file. Other pages are copied unchanged, so their text is still there.
What are the limits?
Redacted pages become pictures, so their text can no longer be selected or searched. Word search finds text that exists in the file; scans need to be covered by hand. The original file's bookmarks, form fields and notes on redacted pages are not kept.
How do I be extra safe?
Tick "Turn every page into a picture". Then no hidden text, layers or data of the original remain anywhere in the result.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser.
