Questions & answers
Is the redaction permanent?
Yes. Pages with redactions are re-rendered with the black boxes burned in, and the original text underneath is removed from the file – not just covered.
Does it work on a scanned Aadhaar card?
Yes. Pages without a text layer are read with on-device OCR, and Aadhaar numbers are validated with the official Verhoeff checksum.
Is Auto-Redact PII free?
Yes, completely free with no limits on the number of files and no watermark.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs in your browser on your own device. Your documents are processed locally and never leave your computer or phone.
Does Auto-Redact PII work on mobile?
Yes. It works in any modern browser on Android, iPhone, Windows, macOS and Linux. Security & Privacy tools also work offline after your first visit.
