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

Will the IBAN be readable after export?+

No. The export is flattened to an image, so the IBAN cannot be copied or extracted from the PDF.

Can I keep the total visible but hide the line items?+

Yes. Toggle the 'Amounts' category off for line items and draw a manual redaction over each row you want hidden.

Does it work with scanned invoices?+

Yes. Built-in OCR reads scanned PDFs and JPG/PNG photos of paper invoices.

Is it legal to send a redacted invoice?+

In most EU jurisdictions, yes – as long as the data needed for the recipient's purpose remains visible. Always check your local tax rules for archiving.
