Blackout

Redact PII from a PDF or image in this browser tab.

Blackout marks emails, numbers, and similar PII on a file you open here. You add or delete marks, then burn a copy with black bars. You get a new PDF with those bars. Your original file stays on this computer. Nothing is sent to a server. Hidden leftover text from the original is not in the download.

Open: A PDF, PNG, JPG, or similar. Or try a fake contract.
Marks: Proposed blackout boxes on the page: emails, phone numbers, US-style SSNs, cards, IBANs, IPs, street addresses, labeled IDs. You add or delete any of them.
Burn: A new PDF with black bars. Hidden text under marks is gone.
