About this tool

How to use
  1. Upload a PDF (optionally enter the open password if encrypted).
  2. Choose “Same regions on every page” or “Regions per page,” then use the live preview: drag on empty space to add regions, or drag handles to move or resize.
  3. Choose black bars or blur, set export resolution under Advanced options if needed, then download the redacted PDF.
Why use this tool

Rasterizes each page to JPEG and paints over your regions (solid black or heavy blur). Per-page mode only alters pages where you drew regions; same-on-every-page mode repeats your regions on each page. Not certified secure redaction.
