Frequently asked questions
Is the redaction permanent?
Yes — each page is rasterized after the boxes are applied, so the covered content is destroyed, not just hidden.
Are my files uploaded?
This tool runs entirely inside your browser — your files are never uploaded to any server, so your documents stay 100% private.
