What you get

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Built for legal, compliance, and anyone who needs to share documents without sharing everything in them.

๐Ÿ–ผ

Pixel-Level Redaction

Pages are rasterized at 300 DPI. Redaction boxes are burned into the pixel data โ€” not just overlaid. No hidden text. No metadata. No recovery.

๐Ÿ”

Find & Redact

Search across your entire document. Step through each match with Back and Next. Redact one instance at a time, or hit Redact All. Undo everything in one step.

โš ๏ธ

Auto-Detect Sensitive Data

One-click scan finds SSNs, phone numbers, emails, credit cards, dates of birth, addresses, and names โ€” all highlighted and ready to redact.

๐Ÿ“„

Searchable Text Preserved

Non-redacted content is transferred as an invisible OCR layer. Your output PDFs stay searchable and copy-pasteable โ€” only the redacted parts are gone.

๐Ÿ”’

100% Offline

No internet connection needed after activation. No cloud processing, no telemetry, no accounts. Your documents never leave your machine.

โ†ฉ

Unlimited Undo

Unlimited undo and redo across all pages until export. Batch operations (Redact All, Detect All) undo in a single Cmd+Z.


How it works

Simple by design.

Three steps. No learning curve.

1

Open your PDF

Drag and drop or use Cmd+O. The document loads instantly with a page thumbnail sidebar for easy navigation.

2

Mark what to redact

Draw boxes manually, use Find & Redact to search, or run Auto-Detect to scan for sensitive data automatically.

3

Export โ€” done

Click Export. Redactions are permanently burned in at the pixel level. The output PDF is clean, final, and safe to share.


Why Redacture

Most tools don't actually redact.

PDF editors that "cover" text with black boxes often leave the underlying text recoverable. Redacture destroys it.

โœ“Pixel-level destruction

Text is rasterized and burned into image data โ€” it cannot be extracted, copied, or recovered by any tool.

โœ“No cloud, ever

Unlike web-based tools, your documents stay on your machine. No uploads, no processing on external servers.

โœ“Native macOS app

Fast, responsive, and built for Mac. Not a browser wrapped in an app.

โœ“Searchable output

Non-redacted text is preserved as a hidden OCR layer โ€” your output PDFs still work as normal documents.
