Redact PDF — Frequently Asked Questions
Is this really secure redaction?
Yes. When you save, every page you drew a redaction on is rasterized into a flat image before being placed back into the PDF. The underlying text objects are gone — no text extraction or PDF unstructuring can recover them.
What happens to pages I didn't redact?
They're copied from the original. Text selection and search continue to work on those pages. Only redacted pages lose searchability.
Can I redact after saving?
Yes. Re-upload the saved PDF and draw more redactions. Each save rasterizes affected pages, so security compounds safely.
What's the output quality like?
Rasterized pages render at 2× the original size for crisp output on screen and print.
