A quick self-check

How many of these sound familiar?

Three problems RedactProof was built to fix.

Racing the deadline

“Data requests keep landing and we're starting to panic.”

With RedactProof

One session handles the whole bundle.

Detection, search, importable redact and exclude lists and manual tools work together, so you can catch everything. Bulk mode runs one setup over a whole batch.

Data residency

“Our files are too sensitive to upload to a cloud tool.”

With RedactProof

Everything stays on your device.

Nothing is uploaded, on any plan, so there is nothing for cloud-processing or data residency rules to attach to.

Evidence on file

“If this gets audited in future, what do we show them?”

With RedactProof

Every Pro export stays defensible.

A tamper-evident certificate, a redaction log with exemption codes, and the account's audit history. Questioned later? The answer is already on file.

Spot the difference

Would your last redaction pass this test?

Select the bar, copy, paste. Start with the overlay tool.

How we redact

Three steps, all on your device

No install and no upload, on any plan.

  1. 1

    Open

    Drop in a PDF, scan or image. It opens in your browser and stays on your device.

  2. 2

    Review

    Five tools find 60+ types of personal data. You approve every redaction.

  3. 3

    Export

    The content is burned out of the file, with a certificate anyone can check.

What you get

Built for Compliance

You make every call; we make it defensible. A properly redacted PDF and the records to stand behind it, all on your own device.

Read the security docs →
  • Privacy by Default

    Files stay on your device from first click to final export, right in your browser.

    Your documents stay with you. Certificates use a fingerprint of the file, and saved sessions keep the position and type of each box so your team can pick up where you left off.

  • Stay in Control

    Automatic detection never redacts on its own. Every suggestion is yours to accept, refine or reject, per word, line or region. Manual tools are on every plan.

    Reveal mode flips the workflow: everything starts redacted, and you reveal only what's safe to share.

  • Ready for Disclosure

    Helps you meet your compliance obligations: legal discovery, FOIA responses, patient record requests, insurance submissions and more.

    On Pro, every disclosure is inspectable end to end: Bates numbering, exemption codes, tamper-evident certificates and CSV redaction logs.

    …and every export leaves with its paperwork

    Three files and a recipient report with every Pro export and the free trial. Switch any of them off.

Don't take our word for it

Every claim on this page is checkable. When we say your documents stay on your device, we mean it.

Watch the network while you work

Open your browser's developer tools, work through a document, and search the Network tab for your filename or any of its text. This is what you'll see.

Only content-free traffic: a one-way hash of each export, redaction coordinates for saved sessions or approvals, and anonymous usage events.

Common questions

Do my documents get uploaded anywhere?

No. The document opens and is processed in your browser. What reaches our servers is content-free: a cryptographic fingerprint to issue the verification certificate, plus redaction coordinates if you use saved sessions or team approvals - never the file, its text, or its name. There is no cloud mode on any plan.

Is the redaction permanent?

Yes. Pixel-burn destroys the content at the image level - no hidden layers, no overlay to peel back, nothing to recover. The certificate then makes any later change to the file detectable.

Is the free trial actually free?

Yes. One source document with full Pro-level features, unlimited re-exports of that document, no card. If it doesn't earn an upgrade, you've lost nothing.

I only redact occasionally - do I need a subscription?

No. Flex Packs cover 5 documents (£19) or 25 documents (£59), valid for 13 months, no subscription.

Can recipients verify a document without an account?

Yes. They scan the QR on the certificate or open the verify link - no account, no contact with you or with us. Verification also works fully offline from the export's verify.json file.

Can a second person review redactions before they're released?

Yes. On team accounts, members can be set to “approval required”: they prepare and submit redaction work, and an approver reviews the same work on their own copy of the document and exports it under their own name - the separation-of-duties control auditors call maker-checker. Every step is audit-logged.

Does it work on scans and photos?

Yes. Text recognition runs on your device, so scanned pages and images can be searched and redacted like any other page.

Do I need IT approval or an install?

It runs in a modern browser - nothing installs. (An optional desktop accelerator exists for heavy workloads, but nothing requires it.)
