Redactr API
Full-depth PDF redaction for developers. REST API, free tier, zero data retention.
You are here · redactr.io
Redactr is an API for full-depth PDF redaction. You control what gets removed. We process your files, then forget them.
Many tools claim to redact but only apply visual overlays. The original text remains in the file — searchable, selectable, and exposed.
Redactr performs full-depth redaction, permanently removing the data from the PDF. No traces left behind.
Not sure if your redactions are real? Check your PDF →
Three steps from document to redacted PDF. You stay in control of every suggestion.
Step 1
POST your PDF to the API. We accept direct file uploads up to 50 MB. Need to connect cloud storage instead? We support that too.
Step 2
Choose an agent to scan your document. They suggest what to redact based on the document type and region. Review their suggestions, or provide your own redaction coordinates on top.
Step 3
Get back a clean PDF with full-depth redactions applied. We permanently remove the sensitive data from the file, not just cover it up.
A straightforward API that does one thing well: removing sensitive data from PDFs without leaving traces.
A simple REST API: send a document, get it back redacted. Works with any language or framework.
Specialist agents that understand your documents, not just patterns. Choose a standard agent for fast pattern matching or a premium agent for context-aware analysis. Every suggestion is flagged for your review.

Visit redactr.pro →We strip your files as soon as the job completes. We purge detailed logs after 60 days. We never train a model on your data.
Read our trust commitments →Full-depth redaction permanently removes data from the PDF file itself — the text, the underlying bytes, everything. Most tools only add visual overlays (annotations) that hide data on screen but leave it intact in the file. With full-depth redaction, the data is gone. It cannot be recovered, searched, selected, or extracted.
Annotation tools draw black boxes over text but leave the original data in the file. Anyone can copy-paste, search, or extract it. Redactr removes the data entirely — what you see in the redacted PDF is all there is. You can verify the difference yourself with our free PDF verification tool.
No. We process your file in memory and return the result — we never write it to disk or cache it. We log redaction metadata for debugging (page counts, region counts) but never filenames or document content. Without the job ID you hold, we can't trace logs back to your documents.
100 redaction pages and 50 standard suggestion pages — lifetime, not monthly — with no credit card required. You get full REST API access, direct file upload, and standard agents. It's designed for developers to evaluate the API and build integrations before committing to a paid plan. All paid plans include access to every agent, including premium.
Yes. Redactr supports Bring Your Own Storage (BYOS) for organisations that need documents to stay within their own infrastructure. Connect an S3-compatible bucket (AWS, DigitalOcean Spaces, MinIO, Backblaze) and we process files directly from source. Your documents never pass through our servers.
Redactr works with PDF files up to 50 MB via direct upload. If you use Bring Your Own Storage, files are read directly from your bucket. We focus exclusively on PDF redaction — doing one thing well rather than many things poorly.

Redaction and suggestions are billed from separate page budgets.
Users who provide their own redaction coordinates only consume redaction credits.
1 page = 1 page of source PDF, regardless of content density.
