Safely black out sensitive text, account numbers, and personal data on any document before sharing. Most markup tools only draw semi-transparent highlighters that can be easily uncovered by turning image brightness and exposure to 100%. Redact PDF permanently destroys underlying pixels and flattens your document, ensuring hidden information is completely unrecoverable. KEY FEATURES: β’ 100% On-Device Privacy: Your files never leave your iPhone. Documents are processed entirely offline with zero cloud uploads or third-party servers. β’ Smart Auto-Detection: Automatically identifies and organizes balances, account numbers, addresses, phone numbers, and emails into an easy checklist. β’ Touch-to-Snap Brush: Draw straight, clean blackout bars with touch snapping that aligns directly to document text lines. β’ Exposure-Proof Pixel Burning: Redacted sections are permanently flattened into the export file so they cannot be inspected, reversed, or revealed. β’ Universal Document Support: Import and redact multi-page PDFs, scans, photos, and receipts directly from the Files app or Camera Roll. β’ Secure Export: Instantly share sanitized files via AirDrop, Mail, Messages, or cloud storage. PERFECT FOR: β’ Bank and credit card statements β’ W-2s, 1099s, and tax filings β’ Passports, driver's licenses, and IDs β’ Legal contracts, leases, and invoices β’ Medical records and private receipts Take control of your personal privacy before you hit send.
