Permanently black out names, account numbers and any sensitive detail before you share a PDF. It all happens in your browser — the file never leaves your device.
Open your PDF to start Free to edit · no account · $1 only when you downloadRedacting a PDF means removing sensitive information for good, not just hiding it from view. With DollarFix PDF you draw a solid black bar over a name, an account number or an address, and the content underneath is stripped out — so it cannot be copied, searched or lifted back out later. That is the crucial difference between redaction and a simple cover-up, and it is exactly what you want before a document goes to a lawyer, a client or a public file.
It is worth knowing how redaction differs from whiteout. A whiteout block sits on top of the page like a sticker; on a digital PDF the original words can still hide beneath it and be recovered. Redaction here permanently blacks out the marked area and removes the underlying text, so there is nothing left to recover. If you only need to tidy a scan or cover a stray mark, whiteout is fine — but for names, numbers and anything confidential, redact is the safe choice.
Because everything runs locally in your browser, the very documents you most want to protect — contracts, bank statements, medical letters — are never uploaded to anyone's server. There is no account to create and no card details to hand over. Editing and redacting are completely free; you pay a one-time $1 only when you choose to download the finished file, with no subscription and no watermark.
