Secure output

Final redaction uses PDF redaction and verifies selected text is removed.

About AI redaction

About AI Redact PDF

AI Redact PDF identifies likely personal, identity and financial information and presents suggestions for human review before applying redactions.

Choose the right tool: AI provides suggestions, not automatic approval. Use Redact PDF when you want to mark every area manually without AI analysis.

Important limitations

AI can miss sensitive information or suggest incorrect matches.
Every page and suggestion requires human review; no legal or compliance guarantee is made.

File handling and privacy

The PDF is uploaded to PDFStack for text extraction and redaction. Extracted text, including OCR output when used, may be sent to the configured AI provider to generate suggestions.
