Frequently Asked Questions
Is my Word document secure?
Yes! Your Word document never leaves your device. All redaction processing happens locally in your browser using client-side JavaScript.
What makes this redaction truly safe?
Our tool performs irreversible redaction by actually removing text from all document parts (main body, headers, footers, comments, footnotes, charts, text boxes) and scrubbing metadata. It's not just visual black boxes.
Can I use regex patterns for redaction?
Yes! You can use regex patterns like /\b\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4}\b/g for phone numbers or /\b[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z|a-z]{2,}\b/g for email addresses.
What's the difference between DOCX and PDF output?
DOCX output preserves document formatting but removes sensitive text. PDF output creates a flattened document that's ideal for legal-grade redaction where no trace of original content should remain.
Does it handle words split across runs?
Yes! Our advanced engine handles complex Word formatting including words split across runs, hyphenation, and text in shapes or text boxes.
Is there a limit on usage?
No limits! Use our tool as much as you need, completely free of charge.
