About this tool
Hide ID numbers, phone numbers or names before sharing a file. Simply placing a black box on top leaves the text underneath, but here the text and picture content under the area is truly removed from the file. Document metadata is also cleaned.
Frequently asked questions
Does the text under the black box stay?
No. The tool actually removes that text and image content from the file instead of just painting over it.
Can I remove a word everywhere?
Yes. Type it in "Find and remove a word". Word search does not work on scanned PDFs, so draw boxes there.
