How to redact a PDF

Open your PDF, drag black boxes over anything sensitive — names, account numbers, addresses — and click Redact. Unlike tools that just draw a black rectangle on top (leaving the text copy-pasteable underneath), everySIMPLEtool flattens redacted pages so the hidden content is permanently removed and can never be extracted.

And because redaction happens entirely on your device, the sensitive document itself is never uploaded anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Is this true redaction or just a black box?

True redaction. Pages with black boxes are flattened to images, so the text underneath is destroyed — it cannot be selected, copied or extracted afterwards.

Is it safe to redact confidential documents online?

On everySIMPLEtool, yes — the document never leaves your device. There is no server and no upload, which matters most for exactly the kind of files people redact.

Can I redact multiple areas and pages?

Yes — draw as many boxes as you need across any number of pages, and use Undo if you misplace one.
