Redaction Editor
No PDF loaded
Upload a PDF to start redacting.
Drag on the page to mark sensitive areas. Use search to add boxes faster.
Draw redaction boxes, find matching text, review every page, then export a flattened PDF that removes the generated file's text layer. Everything runs locally in your browser.
Many browser PDF editors only draw a black shape over text. That can leave the original text behind in the file. AfroTools takes the safer client-side approach for this tool: it previews the PDF, lets you place or search for redactions, then rebuilds the exported PDF as flattened page images with the marks burned into the pages.
Use it for invoices, contracts, IDs, statements, court bundles, procurement files, and internal documents where visible secrets must not remain extractable in the redacted copy.
Drag directly on the page preview, undo the last box, clear a page, or remove all boxes before exporting.
Find names, IDs, account numbers, or repeated phrases across the current page or the whole document.
The generated PDF is intentionally image-based so redacted text is not present as selectable PDF text.
