Frequently asked questions

Is redaction reversible?

No — boxes are baked permanently into the file. Always keep an unredacted original.

Should I do anything after redacting?

Yes. Run Flatten PDF too, so no hidden layer or selectable text remains beneath the boxes.

Why do this offline?

Redaction is for your most sensitive documents — processing locally means they are never exposed to a server.
