Built for compliance teams that ship.

Everything you need to safely redact contracts, invoices, IDs and reports — directly in your browser.

AI Detection

Automatically detect names, addresses, payment details, emails and other sensitive information.

OCR for scans & images

Recognize text inside scanned PDFs, JPGs and PNGs — multi-page documents fully supported.

Manual Control

Draw redaction rectangles directly on the document. Move, edit and review every change before export.

Secure Export

Your final PDF is flattened and permanently redacted — no hidden text, no copyable data, no recovery.

Bonus feature

Add a watermark while you're at it

Redaction stays the main act — watermarking is a small extra for drafts, NDAs and confidential copies you send out.

  • Your logo or ours
    Drop in a PNG, JPG or SVG. No logo? We use the Blackline mark.
  • Three densities
    Light, medium or heavy — tiled across every page in greyscale.
  • Everywhere you work
    Editor, browser extension, desktop watch-folders — same one switch.

Four steps. Zero leaks.

01
Upload

Drag in a PDF, JPG or PNG. Multi-page documents are loaded instantly.

02
Detect

OCR reads every page and the AI flags sensitive entities by category.

03
Review

Toggle categories, remove false positives, or draw your own redaction areas.

04
Export

Download a flattened PDF where every redaction is permanently burned in.

Built for sensitive documents.

A black rectangle over text is not redaction. Blackline AI re-renders every page so the original content is physically removed from the exported document.

Permanent redaction

Pages are re-rendered as flat images before being embedded into the final PDF. The original text behind a redaction never reaches the output file.

Browser-based preview

All document parsing and rendering happens in your browser. Only the extracted text is sent to the AI for detection.

Audit-ready output

Final PDFs contain no selectable text, no metadata leaks, and no recoverable layers underneath the black bars.
