Permanent, pixel-level redaction for macOS. No cloud. No recovery. No risk. Your documents never leave your machine.
Built for legal, compliance, and anyone who needs to share documents without sharing everything in them.
Pages are rasterized at 300 DPI. Redaction boxes are burned into the pixel data — not just overlaid. No hidden text. No metadata. No recovery.
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.
One-click scan finds SSNs, phone numbers, emails, credit cards, dates of birth, addresses, and names — all highlighted and ready to redact.
Non-redacted content is transferred as an invisible OCR layer. Your output PDFs stay searchable and copy-pasteable — only the redacted parts are gone.
No internet connection needed after activation. No cloud processing, no telemetry, no accounts. Your documents never leave your machine.
Unlimited undo and redo across all pages until export. Batch operations (Redact All, Detect All) undo in a single Cmd+Z.
Three steps. No learning curve.
Drag and drop or use Cmd+O. The document loads instantly with a page thumbnail sidebar for easy navigation.
Draw boxes manually, use Find & Redact to search, or run Auto-Detect to scan for sensitive data automatically.
Click Export. Redactions are permanently burned in at the pixel level. The output PDF is clean, final, and safe to share.
PDF editors that "cover" text with black boxes often leave the underlying text recoverable. Redacture destroys it.
Text is rasterized and burned into image data — it cannot be extracted, copied, or recovered by any tool.
Unlike web-based tools, your documents stay on your machine. No uploads, no processing on external servers.
Fast, responsive, and built for Mac. Not a browser wrapped in an app.
Non-redacted text is preserved as a hidden OCR layer — your output PDFs still work as normal documents.
