Redact PDF Cluster

Remove Sensitive Information from PDF

Subject-access copies, medical exports, and tax PDFs often contain more PII than the recipient needs. Walk the pages with boxes. We permanently remove text objects and flatten. We do not auto-detect every SSN. Missing one field is how leaks happen — budget time for a second pass.

A checklist, not a magic PII scanner

GDPR-minded sharing still depends on human eyes. This spoke is for people who know what to cover: national IDs, cards, addresses, patient numbers. Same local engine. Same honesty: scans are images; search may not find pixels.

Walk every page

Headers, footers, exhibits, and “page X of Y” lines hide repeats. Draw as many boxes as you need. Export once at the end.

Verify like an attacker

Open the output, Select All, paste into a blank document, search for the last four of the SSN. If it appears, you missed a box or the data lives in an image.

Policy

Local processing avoids a third-party processor for the file bytes. Your counsel still owns whether that is enough for a given transfer.

How it works

  1. 1

    Load on-device

    No upload of SSNs or medical IDs to us.

  2. 2

    Mark every field

    Cards, addresses, IDs. Strip, do not overlay.

  3. 3

    Flatten, export, search

    Free for typical singles. Batch Premium.

Use cases

Medical exports

Patient packets going to a third party who should not see every identifier.

Bank and tax PDFs

Statements that still show full account strings.

Privacy requests

SAR-style copies where other people’s data must come out first.

Before messaging apps

Do not WhatsApp a raw statement.

Problems we solve

One missed field

Overlay tools and incomplete box coverage both leak. Strip plus a search pass.

Cloud redaction of medical PDFs

The file would hit their disk first. Instant never sends it.

Assuming search finds scans

Image pages need visual inspection. We do not OCR.

Trust & privacy

True removal

Flatten after strip.

Zero upload

GDPR-sensitive bytes stay on the machine.

Free basic sanitization

Premium batch via Lemon Squeezy.
