How FreeRedact protects your files.
Your file stays on your device. The private editor is kept separate from ads and analytics, and your redactions are built into a new file before download.
Your file is not uploaded
When you choose a file, FreeRedact opens and checks it in your browser. The private editor has no ads, analytics, or cloud-based AI. The surrounding editor page also has no advertising placements; public-site analytics cannot access your file or edits.
Redactions are permanent
FreeRedact creates a fresh image or PDF from the pages you reviewed. The new file does not copy hidden text, comments, form entries, attachments, or file details from the original.
Always review before sharing
Automatic suggestions can miss information, so check every page before downloading. FreeRedact is not a legal compliance certification. Password-protected PDFs, video, audio, and files over the listed limits are not supported.
