Redact a PDF — permanently.
Covering text with a black rectangle isn’t enough; the words are often still there underneath. Pyrbit PDF deletes the text, pictures and drawings under each box from the file, then checks nothing is left.

How it works
Redact PDF in three steps.
Choose the PDF
Select the document with information to remove.
Draw boxes over the content
Drag over every account number, name, address or signature that must go.
Apply redactions
The content under each box is removed from the file and you’re told how many items were removed.
What you can do
What Redact PDF does.
- Deletes text, images and drawings under each box
- Checks that nothing remains under the boxes
- Text elsewhere on the page stays selectable
- Redaction happens on your device — the unredacted file never leaves it
Private by design
Your PDF never leaves your device.
Redact PDF runs inside your browser tab. The file you choose is read from your device, processed there, and the result is saved back to your device — it is never uploaded to a Pyrbit server, so there is no copy to keep or delete.
Processed in your browser
The Pyrbit PDF engine runs on your computer or phone, not in the cloud.
No upload
Your document isn’t sent anywhere — not to us, and not to a third-party converter.
Sign-in is for your plan only
Your Google account keeps track of your free daily document and Pyrbit Pro. It never gives us your files.
Prefer offline?
The Pyrbit PDF apps do the same work on your phone, tablet or Mac — even without a connection.

FAQ
Redact PDF questions.
Can redacted text be recovered?
No. The content under each box is deleted from the PDF, not hidden, so it can’t be copied, searched or uncovered.
Is redaction different from a black highlight?
Yes. A black highlight or shape only covers content visually; anyone can remove it or copy the text underneath. Redaction deletes it.
Should I also remove metadata?
Often, yes. Use Edit PDF Metadata to clear the author and other document info before sharing.
Is Redact PDF free?
On the web, sign in with a Google account and you can use Redact PDF — or any other tool — on one free document every 24 hours. Pyrbit Pro (₹79/month or ₹599/year) gives unlimited use with no ads. The Pyrbit PDF apps for iPhone, iPad and Android are free, supported by ads.
