Black it out.
Nothing leaves your device.

Redacat redacts images and PDFs entirely in your browser, using WebAssembly. In PDFs the covered text is deleted from the file, not hidden behind a box. No uploads, no servers, no analytics — it even works offline.

real redaction

In PDFs, text and graphics under a mark are removed from the file by the MuPDF engine — not covered by a rectangle someone can lift off. Images are rebuilt pixel by pixel, and EXIF metadata (location, camera, timestamps) is dropped automatically.

local by design

Everything runs in this tab. A strict Content-Security-Policy forbids all network requests, so the page couldn't phone home even if it wanted to. Load it once and it keeps working in airplane mode.

open source

AGPL-3.0, no build step, a handful of readable files. Audit it, fork it, or self-host it. Redaction engine: MuPDF WebAssembly by Artifex.
