MADE FOR THIS FORMAT
Text PDFs and scans
The workflow handles page text and image-only pages. For degraded scans and handwriting, inspect the output carefully.
What you download
The result is an image-based PDF with applied masks or labels, without the original hidden text layer. Searchable text and original interactive fields are not retained.
Before you upload
How is the file handled?
Files are processed on our managed servers, without sending document content to third-party LLM APIs. Completed task data is automatically cleaned up after 24 hours; active tasks follow the retention policy.
Can I recover the original information?
Blackout and placeholders do not include a restoration map. Keep your original file separately.
Will every sensitive detail be found?
Automatic detection can miss information. Inspect the output before sharing, especially handwriting, poor scans and unusual layouts.
