Sound familiar?

When you Google “Redact PDF”…

  • Your private files on someone else’s server.

    You have to upload the whole file, even when you only need a small change.

  • Ads to watch. Credits to buy.

    You finish the steps, then find out you have to pay or watch an ad to get your file.

  • “This format isn’t supported.”

    You find a converter, but it cannot open the file you actually have.

  • Too many buttons. No clear next step.

    A complicated interface turns a simple file task into something you have to learn.

  • A bad result. Another search.

    The tool crashes or the result is wrong. Now you have to start again somewhere else.

Cover sensitive text and graphics with solid black redaction boxes — without uploading your PDF.

Browse every page, zoom and pan, draw boxes over what must stay private, optionally auto-detect emails, phones, and card numbers, then export a file where redacted pages are permanently covered.

How to redact a PDF

  1. Drop a PDF into ConvertPeach.
  2. Draw black boxes over sensitive regions (or run auto-detect and edit the boxes).
  3. Review every page carefully.
  4. Download the permanently redacted PDF.

Why redact with ConvertPeach

Blacking out text in a screenshot is not redaction — underlying content can remain selectable. ConvertPeach permanently covers redacted pages on export so covered text is no longer copyable from those pages.

Everything runs in your browser: free, private, and suitable when you must share a document but strip personal or confidential details first.

When to redact a PDF

  • Removing SSNs, account numbers, or addresses before disclosure
  • Sharing contracts with third parties while hiding pricing clauses
  • Preparing exhibits where only some passages may be public
  • Cleaning emails, phones, or card numbers from a packet

Manual boxes

Draw solid black rectangles over text or graphics. Undo, redo, or reset before export. Zoom and pan so small strings are fully covered.

Auto-detect

Optional detection looks for email addresses, phone numbers, and credit card numbers in selectable text, then adds boxes you can move or remove. Scanned pages that are only images usually will not auto-detect.

Permanence

On download, pages with redactions become images with black boxes in place, so covered text is not selectable or copyable from those pages. Pages without boxes stay as normal PDF pages. Always review the export before sharing — incomplete coverage is still a leak.

Frequently asked questions

Is redaction permanent?

Yes for redacted pages: those pages become images with black boxes in place. Pages without boxes remain normal PDF pages. Review before you share.

What does Auto-detect find?

Emails, phone numbers, and credit card numbers in selectable text. It will miss handwriting and text that only exists as pixels on a scan.

Is a black highlight the same as redaction?

No. Simple overlays can leave text in the file. This tool makes redacted pages permanent so the covered content is not selectable.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Redaction runs entirely in your browser on ConvertPeach — free and private.
