Remove sensitive data from PDFs. Completely.

Redactr is an API for full-depth PDF redaction. You control what gets removed. We process your files, then forget them.

Annotations are not enough to hide private data

Many tools claim to redact but only apply visual overlays. The original text remains in the file — searchable, selectable, and exposed.

Redactr performs full-depth redaction, permanently removing the data from the PDF. No traces left behind.

Built for developers

A straightforward API that does one thing well: removing sensitive data from PDFs without leaving traces.

API-first design

A simple REST API: send a document, get it back redacted. Works with any language or framework.

Agent suggestions

Specialist agents that understand your documents, not just patterns. Choose a standard agent for fast pattern matching or a premium agent for context-aware analysis. Every suggestion is flagged for your review.

Security you can verify

We built Redactr for organisations that take data protection seriously. Here's how we earn your trust.

Zero data retention

Upload a document and get it back redacted. We process your file in memory and return the result, so nothing is written to disk or cached. We log redaction metadata for debugging, but never filenames or document content. Logs can't be traced back to your documents without the job ID.

Processed in memory, never stored
Encryption in transit (TLS)
No document content in logs

Bring your own storage

For organisations that need documents to stay within their own infrastructure. Connect your cloud storage and we process files directly from source. Currently supporting S3-compatible buckets including AWS, DigitalOcean Spaces, MinIO, and Backblaze. Google Cloud, Azure, OneDrive, and Dropbox coming soon.

Open source PDF engine

Our core PDF service is open source, so you can audit the code that processes your documents. The community helps us catch bugs and improve security, and you never have to wonder what's happening to your files.

How it works

Three steps from document to redacted PDF, with no manual work and no mistakes.

Upload
POST your PDF to the API. We accept direct file uploads up to 50 MB. Need to connect cloud storage instead? We support that too.
Suggest
Choose an agent to scan your document. They suggest what to redact based on the document type and region. Review their suggestions, or provide your own redaction coordinates on top.
Download
Get back a clean PDF with full-depth redactions applied. Sensitive data is permanently removed from the file, not just covered up.
