How PDF redaction works

FileKit renders each page with pdf.js so you can draw redaction rectangles directly on the canvas. When applied, pdf-lib draws solid black filled rectangles over those exact coordinates, permanently obscuring the content. All processing is local — your document never leaves the browser.

Your Privacy, Guaranteed

FileKit processes every file directly in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your documents, images, and data never leave your device — there is no server upload, no cloud storage, and no account required. What happens in your browser stays in your browser.
