Un-Redact PDF

Check if your PDF redaction actually worked. Most redaction tools just hide text—they don't remove it.

Why This Matters

Adobe Acrobat, Preview, and most PDF tools create "fake" redactions—black boxes placed over text, not removing it. Anyone can copy-paste, search, or use tools like this to reveal the "hidden" content. Your sensitive data may already be exposed.
