Anonymize PDF

Anonymize a PDF before you share it. The editor finds emails, IBANs and Czech/Slovak birth, bank account and phone numbers in the text – you choose what to redact, and it’s permanently removed from the file.

How it works

  1. 1

    Open your PDF

    Drag the document into the window – the search for sensitive data opens right away.

  2. 2

    Find the data

    Choose what to look for: birth numbers (CZ/SK), bank accounts and IBANs, emails, phone numbers or your own text. Matches are highlighted on the pages.

  3. 3

    Redact and download

    The selected matches are redacted, and when you download, they’re permanently removed from the file’s text too.

What it can do

Smart search

Birth numbers, account numbers and IBANs are verified by checksum, so random strings of digits don’t show up as matches.

Truly irreversible

Pages with redactions are converted to an image when you save – no text stays in the file under the black bar.

Your own search terms

Find names, addresses or any other text – the accents don’t have to match.

Your data stays with you

The search runs right in your browser – your document isn’t sent anywhere to be searched.

Frequently asked questions

Will it find all personal data?

It finds data written as text, including in the invisible text layer of scans. It can’t find text in images without recognized text or handwritten details – redact those manually with the Redact tool. Always check the result.

Why wasn’t a number found?

Birth numbers and account numbers must pass a checksum, so a number with a typo or a made-up one is skipped. Phone and account numbers are only recognized in Czech/Slovak formats (IBANs from any country). Search for such numbers as your own text, or redact them manually.

Can I undo a redaction?

In the editor, yes – until you download the document, for example with Ctrl+Z (on a Mac ⌘+Z). The removed data is no longer in the downloaded file.

What happens to pages with redactions?

They’re converted to an image so that no text remains under the redactions. Their text can then no longer be selected or searched. Other pages stay unchanged.

Who can see my document?

Only you and anyone you send the link to. The document is edited in your browser and only ever reaches our server encrypted. The copy deletes itself one hour after your last edit. Learn more in our privacy policy.
