Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Your file never leaves your device.

Are the redactions permanent?

Yes. The tool rasterises all pages and bakes the rectangles directly into the page images. The underlying content cannot be recovered.

Can I undo a redaction before building?

Yes — click the × button next to any redaction in the list to remove it before you apply. Once downloaded, redactions are permanent.
