Mark a name once. Find it across the PDF.

Draw a box around a name or other text. Redact finds matching text on other pages and selects it too. Review each match, adjust the areas, and keep anything you want to leave in.

Matching uses the PDF's text. Scanned images need manual selections.

Does my PDF go to an AI service?

No. The scanner runs on your device. Redact doesn't upload your PDF, its text or the details you select to us or a cloud AI service. You don't need a separate AI account.

Can I use it offline?

Yes, once the app and local tools finish downloading. Personal PDFs work offline for up to 24 hours after an online access check, or until your paid or trial period ends if that's sooner. Reconnect to renew access. Downloads, updates, sign-in and billing also need internet. Your document stays on your device.

Can I try it with my own PDF?

Every plan includes unlimited PDF cleanups and a 7-day free trial, once per account. A card is required. Cancel from your account before the trial ends to avoid the first charge. The sample demo is free without an account or card.

What changes in the saved PDF?

The app removes your selected areas and saves a new image-only PDF. You can't select or search its text. Review every page before sharing. Your original stays unchanged.
