Document Redactor

AI PDF redaction that never sends your docs to public LLMs

What it does

Most AI redaction tools stream your docs to OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google – exactly the data transfer you're trying to prevent. We don't. Document Redactor runs detection on local AI models on our own servers (or optionally EU-hosted Mistral). Your sensitive PDFs never touch a third-party LLM. Built-in OCR for scanned PDFs. Review before redact (or auto-redact). Batch processing. Files auto-deleted 2h after. PDF, DOC, DOCX, ODT. 6 languages. Free preview – pay only on download.

    I built a free and open source pdf redaction tool2025 · magicredact.com · ▲5

    Hey everyone, I recently built a free and open-source tool that lets you manually redact PDFs and images right in your browser—no sign-ups, no watermarks. I also added an AI-powered auto-redaction feature to detect and remove sensitive info. Since this part uses external processing (OCR + AI), there are usage limits: you can auto-redact up to 3 single-page PDFs or images for free each day. Higher usage and multi-page support require a paid account. Right now, it works great for removing sensitive details like names, addresses, and emails, but I’d love to get your thoughts: • What redaction…

    RedactMyPDF.com - AI-assisted PDF redaction with human review2025 · redactmypdf.com · ▲6

    Hi HN, I built RedactMyPDF.com after struggling to manually redact a large legal PDF, and I found that existing tools were either expensive or clunky. RedactMyPDF uses AI (Gemini) + OCR + human review to make redaction fast but safe: Auto-detects sensitive info based on document context (names, addresses, IDs, etc.) Full control to accept, reject, or add redactions Works on scanned PDFs (OCR with Tesseract) Secure & GDPR-compliant (AES-256, EU storage, one-click deletion) Irreversible blackouts + metadata removal Audit logs (CSV export for compliance) Try it here: www.redactmypdf.com Thanks!

    Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
