Redaction guides, document by document

Every document leaks differently. These guides cover exactly what to black out on each one, what to keep so the copy still does its job, and how to redact so the removal can't be undone — all with a tool that never uploads your file.

Bank statements

Account numbers, card numbers, and the transactions your landlord doesn't need to see.

Pay stubs

SSN, direct-deposit digits, and garnishment lines — keep the income, drop the rest.

W-2 forms

The SSN in box a is the whole game — plus what lenders actually need left visible.

Tax returns (1040)

Your SSN, your spouse's, your kids' — and the bank account printed on the refund line.

Medical records

Member IDs and unrelated diagnoses, before the school or employer gets the file.

Court filings

Rule 5.2 identifiers, done so copy-paste can't lift them — the mistake that makes headlines.

Driver's license & ID scans

The license number, the address — and the barcode on the back that everyone forgets.

Scanned PDFs

On-device OCR makes paper scans searchable and auto-redactable — without uploading them.

Remove PII from any PDF

One-click detection for SSNs, emails, phone and card numbers across the whole document.
