Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to use this online Redact PDF?

Yes. Because our Redact PDF runs entirely via WebAssembly in your browser, your files never touch a server. Your data remains absolutely secure on your local machine.

Does this tool store or read my files?

No. Our application processes your documents directly inside your browser's local sandbox memory. We have zero access to your files, meaning we never store, read, or upload your private documents.

Can I process massive files over 100MB?

Yes. Since our platform processes files locally on your CPU instead of uploading them to a remote server, we place absolutely zero file size limits or network restrictions on your processing.

Will the processed PDF lose my original formatting?

No. Our native rendering engine maps your document's precise layouts, fonts, and tables to guarantee lossless vector accuracy in the final output.
