Redact PDF
Permanently remove what's under the areas you mark. A black box drawn over text is not redaction — here, marked pages are rebuilt so the underlying text and images are gone, then the result is checked.
Your files stay on your device. No account. No upload.

Redact PDF runs entirely in this browser tab. The PDF is read from your device, processed here, and saved back to your device. It is not uploaded, and LittleOrMore never receives it. How privacy works
Questions
Are my files uploaded?
The file is read and processed by this browser tab. It is never uploaded to LittleOrMore or anyone else.
Why can't I select text on redacted pages?
To guarantee nothing is left underneath, every page with a redaction is rebuilt as an image. Text on those pages can no longer be selected or searched, and screen readers can't read it.
Are other pages affected?
No. Pages without redaction marks keep their text and quality.
Is a black rectangle enough?
No. Covering text with a shape leaves the text in the file. This tool removes it.
