Redact permanently removes text and images you mark — verified, not just covered. Unredact checks whether a PDF's redactions are real by recovering any text still hidden inside it.

Redaction flattens the affected pages to images so the marked content is genuinely removed — guaranteed unrecoverable. The trade-off: text on those pages is no longer selectable.
Every redaction is auto-verified — we re-scan the output and confirm nothing is recoverable before it downloads.
Recovers every piece of text still present in the file — including anything sitting under a black box. If text appears below, that redaction was cosmetic and never removed the data.
Use it to audit your own documents before you share them.
