FAQs
Is the redacted text really removed?
Yes. Any page you draw a box on is rasterized (flattened to an image) before download, so the text and content beneath your black boxes are gone — not just visually covered.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Redaction happens entirely in your browser; your document never leaves your device.
