Frequently asked questions
Is drawing a black box in a PDF editor the same?
No. A drawn box often leaves the text underneath. Redaction here removes it.
Is Redact PDF free?
Yes. All 48 tools on Chutki are free to use, with no sign-up and no watermark added to your files.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Your files are processed inside your own browser and never leave your computer, which makes the tool suitable for confidential and client documents.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. It works in current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on computers, tablets and phones. Very large files work best on a computer.
