Frequently Asked Questions
Is the redacted content actually removed, or just covered up?
It's genuinely removed from the underlying page content, not just covered with a black box — so it can't be recovered by copying text or editing the file.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser — your file is never uploaded anywhere, so nothing ever leaves your device.
