Foire aux questions

Is redaction permanent?

Yes, redaction permanently removes the underlying text. The original content cannot be recovered. Always keep a backup of the original file.

Can I redact images or scanned text?

This tool works with text-based PDFs. For scanned documents, you would need to use manual area-based redaction.

Can I customize the redaction appearance?

Yes, you can set the redaction color, add borders, and optionally include replacement text like "[REDACTED]".

How does regex search work?

Enable "Use Regular Expression" to search using regex patterns. For example, \d{4}-\d{4}-\d{4}-\d{4} to find credit card numbers.
