Redact PDF Online Free

Redacting a PDF means permanently removing sensitive or confidential information from a document before sharing it. This includes personal details, bank numbers, addresses, identification numbers and legal data.

GKPTool Redact PDF tool allows you to draw black boxes over sensitive areas and permanently sanitize the document so hidden data cannot be recovered.

What Is PDF Redaction?

PDF redaction is not just hiding text visually. True redaction permanently destroys the underlying data so it cannot be copied, searched or recovered.

Unlike simple highlight tools, proper redaction removes the content at pixel level.

Why Use PDF Redaction?

Permanent Sanitization

When you click “Sanitize & Save”, the marked areas are burned directly into the PDF pages as black pixels. The original text cannot be restored using any software.
