True Destruction
Vector-level removal of sensitive data, not just black boxes over text.
Built for true compliance.
Redakt goes far beyond drawing black boxes. It uses a hybrid engine of regular expressions and NLP to ensure nothing slips through the cracks.
Global Presets & Custom Rules
Select from FRCP 5.2, HIPAA Safe Harbor, UK GDPR, Canada PIPEDA, or India DPDP. Need something specific? Use our Custom Rule Builder to define proprietary PII patterns.
Multiple Anonymization Methods
Don't want to just redact? Choose to replace PII with realistic fake names, mask them with asterisks (***-**-1234), or simply highlight them for manual review.
AI Text Anonymizer
Free ForeverHave a quick email, chat log, or text snippet? Paste it directly into the Text Anonymizer tab and get a cleaned, compliant version instantly—100% free, forever, with no license required.
Cryptographic Audit Certificates
Every redacted document automatically generates an audit certificate detailing exactly what was removed, the preset used, and SHA-256 file hashes.
Manual Draw-to-Redact
Need to redact a logo, image, or handwritten signature? Use our interactive canvas to click and drag custom redaction boxes directly onto the PDF.
Surface Form Propagation
When the AI detects a complex name once, our propagation engine dynamically creates rules to hunt down that exact string across the entire document, regardless of context.
AcroForm Field Scrubbing
Fillable PDF forms hide PII in their metadata. We natively extract, detect, and clear sensitive data from interactive PDF widgets before they cause a breach.
Re-identification Mode
Working with LLMs? Redakt can temporarily translate names to `<<PERSON1>>` and securely map them back to their original values after you receive the AI response.
What we automatically detect and destroy:
