PDFZero permanently redacts text such as names, emails, and phone numbers from a PDF using AI-assisted detection — entirely inside your browser. Unlike simply drawing a black box over text (which can often still be selected or copied underneath), proper redaction removes the underlying content. No upload, no trace, no signup.
Sharing a PDF often means removing personal information first — names, emails, phone numbers, account numbers, or other identifying details. True redaction (not just a black box) prevents that information from being recovered by copying text or examining the file.
No. Proper redaction removes the underlying text content, not just visually hides it — this prevents someone from selecting or copying the redacted text out from underneath.
Automated detection helps surface likely candidates (emails, phone numbers, names) but isn't guaranteed to catch everything — review the document yourself before sharing redacted files for anything sensitive.
No. Detection and redaction both run locally in your browser; your document is never sent to a server.
Yes, you can manually select and redact any additional text or regions beyond what was automatically detected.
Yes, redaction is free to use with no signup required.
