The Difference

Other tools upload your files. We don't.

Most redaction tools require uploading your entire document to their servers. SafeRedact works differently.

True permanent redaction

Unlike basic PDF editors that just overlay black boxes, SafeRedact creates a new document without the sensitive data. It's not hidden—it simply doesn't exist in the output.

Features

AI that understands context

Our AI doesn't just pattern-match. It understands what's sensitive and catches it regardless of formatting.

SSN & Tax IDs

Detects Social Security numbers, EINs, ITINs in any format—dashes, spaces, or none.

Contact Information

Phone numbers, email addresses, physical addresses with intelligent formatting detection.

Financial Data

Credit card numbers, bank accounts, routing numbers, and financial identifiers.

Dates & DOBs

Birth dates and sensitive dates in MM/DD/YYYY, written out, or international formats.

Names & Identities

Personal names with context awareness to distinguish from company or place names.

Manual Redaction

Draw boxes to redact anything the AI missed or that you want removed for any reason.

FAQ

Common questions

What types of PII does SafeRedact detect?

Social Security numbers, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, account numbers, credit card numbers, names, and more. The AI understands context, so it catches information even when formatting varies.

Is the redaction permanent?

Yes. SafeRedact renders your document as a new image with redactions included. The sensitive content is never in the output file—it's not hidden, it simply doesn't exist. The redacted file cannot be unredacted with Photoshop, copy/paste, or any forensic method. Your original file remains untouched on your device.

Can I add manual redactions?

Yes. After AI detection, you can draw boxes to add manual redactions for anything the AI missed or that you want to redact for other reasons.

What happens to my documents?

Only extracted text is sent for AI detection — nothing is stored or retained. No files are stored on our servers, and no data is used for AI training.

What file types are supported?

PDF, JPG, and PNG files. Images are automatically converted to PDF for processing. Multi-page PDFs are fully supported—navigate between pages and redact each one.
