Document Redactor Free Online: Hide Sensitive Data
Hide emails, phone numbers, URLs, long IDs, and custom keywords from scanned documents before sharing or exporting them.
Document Redactor is useful when a document can be shared only after contact details, account-like numbers, URLs, or case-specific terms have been removed. The workflow prioritizes practical privacy cleanup without sending the file to a remote service.
How to Use It
- Upload your document image and wait for the local preview to load.
- Adjust the settings: Select which sensitive patterns to hide, add optional custom keywords, choose the output format, and export the permanently redacted file.
- Download the result: Download the processed file directly to your device.
Controls and Options
Enable only the pattern types you really need, then add custom names or phrases when the document contains case-specific sensitive terms.
Formats and Output
Input: JPG, PNG, WebP. Output: PNG or PDF. Verified redactions are burned into the exported file rather than left as removable overlays.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the redaction permanent in the exported file?
Yes. Pixlane exports a redacted raster result so the hidden content is burned into the file instead of being left as a removable overlay.
Can I redact my own keywords too?
Yes. Add custom terms separated by commas or new lines to hide specific names, codes, or phrases.
Does this work on photographed documents?
Yes. The tool is designed for scanned pages and phone photos of documents, as long as the text is still OCR-readable.
Is Document Redactor free to use?
Yes. Document Redactor on Pixlane is free and keeps the workflow on device.
Are my files stored on a server?
Supported media processing runs on your device, and file contents are not uploaded for processing. Site analytics and the assistant are separate.
How long does processing take?
Processing runs directly in your browser. Completion time varies with the operation, file size, browser, and device.
What is the maximum file size?
There is no server upload limit because processing stays on this device. Very large files can still be constrained by available browser and device memory.
Does this tool work on mobile devices?
Pixlane runs in supported browsers on desktop and mobile; availability varies by required APIs. No app download is needed.
