Permanent redaction

Black bars are baked into a flattened image – the text underneath cannot be copied, searched or recovered.

Runs in your browser

OCR, rendering and export happen on your device. Only extracted text is sent to AI for classification.

GDPR-friendly by design

Files are never stored on our servers. Close the tab and the document is gone.

Multi-page & scans

Works with multi-page PDFs and scanned images thanks to built-in OCR.

FAQ

Is anonymization permanent?+

Yes. The export flattens every page to an image — blacked-out text cannot be copied, searched or recovered.

Does it catch all personal data automatically?+

The AI classifies names, addresses, IBANs, ID numbers, emails, phone numbers, amounts and more. You can review and add manual boxes before export.

Is anonymized the same as pseudonymized?+

No. Blackline AI removes the data irreversibly from the shared copy — true anonymization, not a reversible placeholder.

Is it GDPR compliant?+

Yes. Files are processed locally in your browser and never stored on our servers.
