Redact a payslip online

Banks and landlords often ask for a payslip but you don't have to share everything. Blackline AI removes tax IDs, social security numbers, bank details – or the salary itself – in a few clicks.

How it works

  1. 1Drop your file into the editor – PDF, JPG or PNG.
  2. 2The AI scans every page and classifies sensitive items into categories.
  3. 3Toggle categories on/off, fine-tune or draw your own boxes.
  4. 4Export a flat, non-recoverable PDF in one click.
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

Can I keep gross salary visible and hide net?+

Yes – every detected value can be toggled or removed individually.

Will the employer's stamp/signature still be visible?+

Yes. Only items you select are blacked out – stamps and signatures remain untouched.

Does it work for German Gehaltsabrechnungen?+

Yes, including 'Lohnsteuer', 'Sozialversicherungsnummer' and 'Steuer-ID'.

Can recruiters detect that something has been redacted?+

The black bars are visible – this is honest redaction, not deletion. The data underneath is unrecoverable.
