Frequently Asked Questions
Adakah penyusunan di sini memadamkan teks asas secara kekal?▼
This tool draws a solid black box visually over the content you select, which is enough for sharing documents where you simply don't want the information visible. It doesn't strip the original text from the PDF's internal file structure, so for legal, medical, or highly sensitive files, print the redacted PDF to a new PDF before sharing — that flattens it into a plain image with nothing left to extract.
Can someone recover the text by copy-pasting over the black box?▼
It's possible with certain PDFs, since the box sits on top of the content rather than removing it from the file's code. If the information is highly sensitive, follow the print-to-PDF step above before you send the file anywhere.
Can I search for a word and redact every instance of it?▼
Yes, type the text you want to hide into the search box, and every matching instance across the document is located so you can mark them for redaction quickly instead of hunting page by page.
Can I redact whole sections or just specific words?▼
Kedua-duanya — lukiskan kotak di atas satu perkataan, perenggan atau keseluruhan blok kandungan, tidak kira saiz maklumat sensitif yang berlaku pada halaman.
Is my document uploaded anywhere while I'm redacting it?▼
No, the whole process runs locally in your browser, so the sensitive content you're covering up is never sent to a server.
