## What is VeilPDF?

VeilPDF permanently redacts sensitive information in PDFs and photos and strips hidden metadata, entirely on your iPhone. Import a PDF or photo, or scan paper, and VeilPDF finds the sensitive parts for you. You confirm the boxes, and it burns the redaction in for good. Nothing is uploaded, ever: there is no account, no server and no network access at all.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Import a PDF or photo, or scan a paper document with the camera.
2. On-device text recognition (Apple Vision) plus smart rules flag the sensitive items.
3. Review the boxes: remove a false positive, or draw your own to black out anything else.
4. Redact. Each page is flattened to an image, so the original text and vectors are removed. There is nothing hidden under the black box.
5. EXIF and PDF Info/XMP metadata are stripped from the exported file.
6. Share the clean file anywhere.

WHAT GETS DETECTED
• Social Security numbers
• Credit and debit card numbers
• Bank account numbers
• Email addresses and phone numbers
• Dates of birth
• Names
Detection is a head start, not a guarantee: you always make the final call and can add or remove any box.

VERIFY
After export, VeilPDF's built-in Verify step re-reads the finished file, confirms the redacted text can no longer be found and that no metadata remains, and shows you a report. Redaction you can check, not just trust.

BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO SHARE DOCUMENTS
Landlords, real-estate agents, paralegals, HR teams, small businesses, or anyone who needs to send a lease, ID, statement or form without sending everything on it.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your documents never leave your device. No account, no analytics, no tracking, no network access.

FREE
Your first redaction is free, so you can see exactly how it works.
