Safe PDF Redactor (Rasterize-to-Remove)
Runs in your browser. No uploads.
Draw redaction boxes directly on each page. CourtPDF rasterizes pages at your chosen DPI, burns the boxes into bitmap layers, and rebuilds a fresh PDF. Sensitive text, vectors, and metadata are gone for good.
Rasterization increases file size and removes searchability, but guarantees the underlying content is destroyed. Pick 150 DPI for quick sharing or 300 DPI when print clarity matters.
Why rasterization is safer
Traditional PDF redaction tools simply overlay vector rectangles. Hidden text, OCR layers, and annotations often remain in the file. Anyone can remove those overlays and recover the sensitive data.
The Safe PDF Redactor renders every page to an image, burns your boxes into the pixels, and exports a clean PDF. It is slower than vector editing but guarantees the content is gone.
- No embedded text or metadata survives.
- Choose DPI to balance clarity vs. file size.
- Keep control by working entirely offline in your browser.
