PDF Masker vs Redactly

Protect your sensitive information before sharing files with others. PDF Masker is a powerful security tool that lets you search and black out specific keywords across your PDF documents automatically. Import any PDF directly from your device using the Share menu. Enter your target keywords, and the app instantly hides matching text so you can send your documents safely. You can choose to export your final file as a searchable text-based PDF or as an image-based PDF. The image-based option is perfect when you want to permanently erase underlying text data so it can never be copied or recovered. Key Features - Smart Bulk Redaction: Enter a keyword and automatically mask every single match across the entire document. - Multiple Keywords Support: Separate multiple terms using spaces or commas to clear different pieces of data at once. - 100 Item History Tracker: Saves up to 100 of your frequently used keywords so you can reapply them with a single tap. - Custom Redaction Colors: Change the color of your redaction blocks from classic blackout to white or any custom tone. - Flexible File Loading: Easily load files from your system file picker, in-app web browser, or straight from other apps via the Share extension. - 100 Percent Offline Security: All processing happens locally on your phone or tablet. Your private and confidential documents are never sent to external servers. - Clean and Fast User Interface: Designed to be clean, fast, and simple for everyone, with no complex setup required. Whether you are hiding account numbers, blurred names, personal addresses, or sensitive corporate contracts, PDF Masker helps you prevent data leaks on the go.

Need to black out an account number, address or signature in a PDF before you share it? Redactly lets you draw redaction boxes and exports a new PDF where that content is actually removed — not just covered up. Open a PDF, drag to draw black boxes over anything private, page by page, and tap Apply Redaction. Then share the redacted copy or save it to Files. • TRUE REMOVAL — every page with a redaction box is flattened into an image with solid black over your boxes, so the hidden text can't be selected, copied, searched or uncovered by deleting a shape. • DRAW WITH A FINGER — drag to draw a box over text, numbers, photos or signatures; touch and hold a box to remove it, or clear a whole page and start again. • ALL YOUR PAGES — move between pages with the page strip and redact as many pages as you need, up to 300 pages per PDF. • OTHER PAGES STAY SHARP — pages without boxes are copied as they are, so their text stays crisp and selectable, and their links and bookmarks are kept. • NO HIDDEN LEFTOVERS — comments and form annotations are not copied back onto redacted pages — a redacted page carries only what you see on it. • SHARE OR SAVE — send the redacted PDF by Mail or Messages, or save it to Files. Your original file isn't changed. Honest scope: you choose what to redact — Redactly doesn't search for or detect sensitive text automatically, so check every page. Redacted pages become images, so their remaining text is no longer selectable. Password-protected PDFs need to be unlocked first. Everything happens on your iPhone. Your documents are not uploaded and no account is needed. Redacting and previewing are free: check every redacted page before you pay. A one-time $4.99 purchase unlocks saving and sharing the redacted PDF. No subscription, no ads. Questions: overlapmarr@gmail.com
