Detection is a review aid, not a guarantee. Nothing is redacted until you approve it.

Review suggestions
Identify with AI

A local AI model finds and labels these in your document—even in running text—and leaves everything else alone. It runs in your browser; the model downloads on first use (300–500 MB).

Choose a PDF, then scan it for sensitive data.

Secure redaction changes the page. Each affected page becomes a high-resolution image. Its original text, links, forms, comments, and accessibility structure are removed.
