FAQ

Common questions

Is redaction permanent?

Yes. The underlying data is removed — it is not a box that can be lifted.

Can I redact bank statements?

Yes. Bank statements, tax docs, and medical records are the most common use cases.

Can I redact specific words automatically?

Manual area selection available now. Keyword search redaction coming soon.

Will metadata also be removed?

Yes — author, creation date, and other metadata is stripped during processing.
