Redact Everything That Matches, in One Go

Choose the kinds of data to find (Thai national ID numbers, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, card or account numbers) or type your own words, such as a client name, one per line. The tool searches the text of every page and outlines each match on the page so you can review it. Click any box to keep that one.

When you press Redact, each page that has matches is re-drawn with solid black boxes burned in, so the hidden words no longer exist in the file. The rest of the page keeps an invisible text layer so it stays selectable, and pages without matches are copied across untouched.

Good to Know

Matching works on the PDF’s real text, so a scan (a picture of text) has nothing to find: run it through OCR first. Always glance through the result: text inside embedded pictures is invisible to the search. To black out a logo or a region by hand use Redact PDF. Everything runs in your browser.

Find & Redact — Frequently Asked Questions

Which data can it find?

Thai ID numbers (13 digits, with or without dashes), Thai and +66 phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and 13 to 16 digit card or account numbers. You can also type any words, or regular expressions if you tick that option.

Is the redacted text really gone?

Yes. Redacted pages are flattened to an image with black boxes burned in, and the text layer written back leaves those characters out.

Why did it find nothing in my file?

The PDF is probably a scan or the data is inside a picture. Run OCR first, then search again.

Does the file leave my device?

No. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
