Your files never leave your device. All processing happens locally in your browser.

Draw black boxes over anything you want hidden. On export, each page is flattened to an image with the boxes burned into the pixels — so the redacted text is physically destroyed, not just covered. Unlike most free tools, the hidden content can't be copied back or recovered. Everything runs in your browser.
