Whiteout PDF text text in a PDF — free, no upload

Need to hide account numbers, names, or signatures before sharing a PDF? The whiteout tool draws a clean box over sensitive content so it is no longer visible.

Because the redaction happens inside your browser, the original unredacted file never reaches a server. That is the safest way to prepare documents for email, public records, or client handoffs.

How it works

  1. 1

    Open your PDF

    Load the document you need to redact in the local editor.

  2. 2

    Draw a whiteout box

    Drag a rectangle over the text or image you want to hide.

  3. 3

    Save securely

    Download the PDF with the area permanently covered.
