# SafeRedact > AI-powered document redaction that permanently destroys sensitive data. Files never leave your browser. SafeRedact is a privacy-first document redaction tool that uses AI to automatically detect and permanently remove sensitive information from PDFs and images. Unlike tools that overlay black boxes (which can be removed), SafeRedact converts documents to images and burns redactions into the pixels — the original text is destroyed and cannot be recovered. ## Core Product - **Website**: https://saferedact.app - **App**: https://saferedact.app/app - **Category**: Document Redaction Software / Privacy Tool - **Platform**: Browser-based (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) — no install required - **Maker**: Genband Industries ## What It Detects - Social Security Numbers (SSN), EIN, ITIN in any format - Phone numbers, email addresses, physical addresses - Credit card numbers, bank account numbers, routing numbers - Dates of birth in all common formats - Personal names with context-aware detection - Custom manual redaction via drawing boxes ## Key Differentiators - **Privacy-first**: Documents are processed in-browser.
