Redact PDF

Black out names, numbers and other sensitive text in a PDF for good — redacted text is removed, not just covered.

Your files never leave your device

How to redact pdf

  1. 1

    Choose your PDF file

    Click the upload area or drag files onto it. Nothing is uploaded — files are opened locally.

  2. 2

    Start the conversion

    Press the convert button. Your browser converts the files in seconds.

  3. 3

    Download the result

    Save each file individually or everything at once as a ZIP.

Share statements, contracts and records without exposing personal data. Draw boxes over anything you want hidden, or search for a word and redact every match. Pages you redact are flattened, so the text underneath is permanently removed — it can’t be copied or uncovered later.

What is PDF?

PDF (Portable Document Format) preserves a document’s layout on every device and operating system, which makes it the standard for sharing, printing and archiving.

Is it private?

Yes. Unlike upload-based converters, ZapMorph processes files inside your browser tab, so the file stays on your device. It is never transmitted, stored or logged — close the tab and it’s gone.

Frequently asked questions

Is the redact pdf converter free?

Yes. Convert 1 file a day without an account, or 5 files a day with a free account. Pro removes all daily limits.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so your files never leave your device. We only count how many files you convert — never their names or contents.

What is the maximum file size?

Up to 25 MB per file without an account, 50 MB with a free account, and 1 GB on Pro. Very large files also depend on your device’s memory.

Can I convert multiple PDF files at once?

Redact PDF works on one file at a time and can produce many output files, which you can download together as a ZIP.

Does it work on Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android?

Yes. It works in any modern browser — Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari — on desktop and mobile, with nothing to install.
