When you can't or don't want to edit the underlying text, whiteout is the quickest fix: drag a white rectangle over anything you want to hide and the page looks clean. DollarFix PDF makes this easy on both digital and scanned PDFs.

It is ideal for covering an old address, a wrong number or a stray mark before you share or print a document. Editing is free, nothing is uploaded, and you only pay $1 once when you download the finished file.

Frequently asked questions

Does whiteout work on scanned PDFs?

Yes. A scan is an image, and whiteout simply covers part of that image with a white block, so it works perfectly on scans.

Can I type over the whited-out area?

Yes — after covering the old content you can add new text on top in the font and size you choose.

Is the covered text still readable?

The area is covered by a solid block so it is not visible. For truly permanent removal of sensitive data, use the redact tool.

What does it cost?

Editing is free. Downloading the finished PDF is a one-time $1, with no subscription.

Is my file uploaded?

No — the whole process runs in your browser and your document stays on your device.
