Is there a page limit for redaction?

Yes, 60 pages per file. Split a longer PDF and redact each part.

Can I add my own words on top of what it finds?

Yes. Reply with something like “yes, and Project Falcon”, or give your own list of up to 50 terms. After each pass you can name more words to mask.

What does the label over a masked spot say?

Whatever you choose, up to 30 characters; it shrinks to fit. A spot too narrow for text stays a plain black box.

Redact a PDF: remove personal data for real

The Redactor reads the document, proposes the names, emails, phone numbers, IBANs, card numbers, addresses and dates of birth it finds, and removes what you confirm. Pages are flattened, so the hidden text is gone, not just covered.

When you'd use it

Sending a tenancy agreement to a lawyer with the other tenant's name and bank details hidden.
Sharing a customer complaint with your team after removing the customer's email and phone number.
Handing a payslip to a landlord with your IBAN and home address blacked out.

Just say what you need

There are no menus to learn. Drop your file on pdfagents.ai and type it the way you would say it:

“remove all personal data before I share it”
“mask John Smith and the IBAN”
“black out the names only”

How it works

Drop the PDF and ask for the personal data to go.
Review the proposal: say yes, only the names, or give your own list.
Choose a label or a black box and download.

The output is image-only by design. For scans, run OCR first and then redact the result.

Private, and it keeps going

Your document is opened and saved on your own device, never uploaded. When the result is ready, type the next request (rotate, compress, add a password) and it applies to the result.
