Answers about automatically masking sensitive information across multiple PDFs.
Go to Bulk Redact PDF ToolBulk Redact PDF searches several PDFs for sensitive details and covers every match with a black box. Choose what to look for, add your files, and download a ZIP with a covered copy of each PDF.
Email addresses, phone numbers, common ID numbers, IP addresses, IBANs, tokens and keys, plus any custom words or phrases you enter, such as a name or account number.
No. Please read this before sharing. The black boxes hide the matches on the page, but the original text stays in the file underneath. Someone could still copy or extract it.
If the hidden information must be permanently removed, convert the covered PDF to images with PDF to JPG and then back to PDF with Images to PDF. The result contains only pictures of the pages, so the hidden text is gone.
Only PDFs that contain real, selectable text can be searched. A scan is a picture of text, so details in it are not found automatically. Use Redact PDF to cover areas by hand instead.
No. Bulk redaction runs in your browser, and your PDFs stay on your device. A file is uploaded only if you choose to share the result as a link.
Up to 10 PDFs at a time. For more, run several batches.
You get one ZIP containing a covered copy of each PDF. Open each file and check every page before you share it.
