FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the hidden text really removed?

Redaction draws an opaque box over the content in the exported PDF so it is not visible.

Can I redact in white instead of black?

Yes. Use Whiteout to cover content with the page's background color.

Do my files leave my device?

No. Redaction happens entirely in your browser for privacy.
