Find & redact sensitive text
Detection runs in your browser and finds bare values (emails, mobiles, PAN, Aadhaar) as well as values next to form labels like Email / Mobile. Matching pages are rasterized on export so blacked-out text cannot be copied. Scanned PDFs need OCR first, or use Edit PDF for manual boxes.
About Redact PDF
Find and permanently black out emails, phone numbers, Aadhaar, PAN, card numbers, or custom text in a PDF. OyoPdf Redact PDF runs entirely in your browser and rasterizes redacted pages so hidden text cannot be copied.
Review every match before applying redaction. For scanned documents without a text layer, run OCR PDF first or draw boxes manually in Edit PDF.
