Is the text really gone?
Yes. Redacted pages are rebuilt as images, so the covered text cannot be copied or recovered.
Are other pages affected?
Only pages with redactions are flattened. The rest stay unchanged and searchable.
Are my files uploaded to your server?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser, so your files never leave your device.
Is it free?
Yes. Every browser tool is free to use without sign-up or watermarks.
