AI-Powered Document Redaction

Redact PDFs permanently.
Protect sensitive data in minutes, not hours.

AI detects 65+ types of sensitive information — SSNs, medical records, financial data, and more. Review, approve, and download a permanently redacted document with a full audit trail.

Handles scans, phone photos, and handwriting — not just clean digital PDFs. Why true redaction beats black boxes →

Quick answers

Is the redacted text really gone, or just hidden?

Gone. Every page carrying a redaction is rasterized. The bars are burned into the pixels and the original page content is destroyed, not covered. The redacted values exist nowhere in the output file, not in a text layer and not in the file's raw bytes.

Who is it for?

Regulated work where a missed redaction is a data breach, not a typo. That includes healthcare, legal, government, financial services, mortgage and real estate, dental, and veterinary. Dr. Redact is built for HIPAA, GDPR, and FOIA.

Is Dr. Redact HIPAA compliant? Do you sign a BAA?

It is built for HIPAA workflows: encrypted processing, retention controls, audit certificates, and a Business Associate Agreement executed click-wrap on paid plans. The free trial does not permit PHI. Audit certificates start with the Standard Pack.

Can I try it free, and what does it cost to start?

Yes. The free trial is 10 pages, no credit card, and no PHI. Paid plans start at $3.99 for the Starter Pack, which includes a BAA. Monthly plans start at $29.
