Frequently Asked Questions

Is the redaction permanent?

Yes. Once you download the redacted PDF, the black boxes are embedded into the file. It is extremely difficult to remove these once the document is exported.

Can I redact images?

Absolutely. Our tool allows you to draw a box of any size, allowing you to hide entire photos, logos, or signatures.
