Share the invoice.
Not the price.
Redactly finds every price hiding in a PDF and actually removes it, not just paints over it. Send a quote, invoice, or receipt without handing over what anything cost.
A black rectangle isn't redaction.
Most "redact this PDF" tools draw a shape on top of the text and call it done. The price is still sitting underneath, in the document's actual content. Select all, paste into a text editor, and it comes right back.
What most tools do
The rectangle sits on a layer above the text. The text itself never moved — copy the page and the number pastes out in plain sight.
What Redactly does
The page gets flattened into a single image with the price already gone, then rebuilt into the PDF. There's no text object left to select or extract.
Four steps, start to finish.
No configuration, no export settings to learn. Open a PDF and go.
Open a PDF invoice in Chrome
A web link, an email attachment, or a file already on your computer all work the same way.
Click the Redactly icon
Or skip straight to detection with Ctrl+Shift+Space. Either way, Redactly scans the page for anything price-shaped.
Review what it found
Every match is highlighted by confidence. Click one to turn it off if it's wrong, or leave it — nothing happens until you say so.
Redact and download
Saves a new file next to the original. Your source PDF is never touched or overwritten.
One job, done properly.
Redactly doesn't try to be a full PDF editor. It finds prices and gets rid of them, well.
Auto-detect
Finds dollar amounts, totals, and other currency formats without you circling anything by hand.
Review before you commit
Every detected price can be individually included or excluded before you redact anything.
Three redaction styles
A solid black bar, a white blend-in, or a [PRICE] placeholder that shows something was removed.
True removal
Redacted pages are flattened to an image. The number can't be copied, searched, or recovered.
Keyboard shortcut
Ctrl+Shift+Space jumps straight into detection on whatever PDF is open.
Works on local files too
Redact a PDF sitting on your computer, not just one you found on the web.
Actually removing text is more work than covering it.
A PDF page isn't a picture, it's a set of instructions: draw this text at this position, in this font. A rectangle drawn "over" a price is just another instruction added on top. The original instruction to draw $1,240.00 is still in there, and any tool that reads the page's content stream can pull it straight out, box or no box.
Redactly takes the slower route. It renders the affected page to a canvas at full resolution, paints the redaction directly into the pixels, and replaces that page's vector content with the flattened image inside the PDF. The number isn't hidden anymore, it's gone.
Pages with nothing to redact are left exactly as they were, still text, still searchable. Only the pages that actually had a price on them get flattened.
Nothing about your invoice leaves your browser.
This matters more for a tool that touches financial documents than most, so here's exactly what happens and what doesn't.
Questions people actually ask.
Not reliably yet. Detection reads the PDF's actual text layer, so a scanned document that's really just a photo of a page has nothing to detect. OCR support for scanned files is on the list, but it isn't there today.
No, not directly. Remove the password first (most PDF readers can do this if you know the password), then run Redactly on the unlocked file.
Only the pages that actually contain a price you've chosen to redact get flattened into an image. Every other page keeps its original text, exactly as it was.
That's what the review step is for. Every match shows a confidence level, and you can turn any individual one on or off before anything is redacted. Nothing is final until you click download.
No. Everything runs locally in your browser tab. See the privacy section above for the specifics.
