About this tool
If you want an AI to summarize a contract, review an invoice or explain a report, it rarely needs to know whose it is. This tool gives you the PDF's text with personal data replaced by placeholders.
If what you need is a PDF with black boxes to send to someone else, this tool does not do that: the result is text, not a censored PDF. We prefer not to offer redaction that destroys content, and badly done redaction (a black rectangle over text that is still there) is a common mistake that leaks data.
How it works
- 01
Drop the PDF.
- 02
Leave “Anonymize personal data” on and convert.
- 03
Review each highlighted item; switch anonymization off to compare.
- 04
Copy or download the text, and keep the map if you will restore the data.
