Why Proper Redaction Matters

Many "redaction" attempts fail because they only hide information visually without actually removing it from the document.

Common Redaction Failures

  • Black highlighting: Text remains selectable and copyable
  • Image overlays: Can be removed in editing software
  • White text: Still present in document metadata
  • PDF annotations: Can be toggled off in most readers

These methods have exposed classified information in government documents, court filings, and corporate reports.

How SafeRedact Works Differently

  • Pixel-level removal: Text is completely destroyed
  • New document creation: Redacted file is rebuilt from scratch
  • Metadata cleaning: Hidden data is also removed
  • Verification: You can confirm redacted areas are truly empty

The result is a document that can be safely shared without risk of the original information being recovered.
