This conversion process ensures that the text cannot be copied from the document or indexed without OCR, enhancing the security of your information. In addition, invisible layers within the PDF are not converted, providing an extra layer of security against accidental leaks. CoverUP also supports the import of PNG and JPG files. This is useful if you want to edit screenshots or images of documents taken with a mobile phone. Given that image-based PDFs can become quite large, CoverUP offers two PDF export modes: A high-quality mode that maintains the visual fidelity of the document, and a compressed mode that reduces file size at the expense of some visual quality. Whether you’re dealing with a single page or an entire document, CoverUP provides a flexible and easy solution for your PDF redaction needs no matter if you want to black out text, white out text or censor passages of your text. ### Package name * coverup --- ### License * GPL-3.0+ --- ### Last updated * 18 January 2026 - latest/stable * 20 January 2026 - latest/edge --- ### Websites * [coverup.digidigital.de](https://coverup.digidigital.de "https://coverup.digidigital.de") --- ### Contact * [support@digidigital.de](mailto:support@digidigital.de "mailto:support@digidigital.de") --- ### Source code * [github.com/digidigital/CoverUP](https://github.com/digidigital/CoverUP "https://github.com/digidigital/CoverUP") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/digidigital/CoverUP/issues](https://github.com/digidigital/CoverUP/issues "https://github.com/digidigital/CoverUP/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/coverup/opensuse#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install CoverUP PDF Redaction Software Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed. You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor. Tumbleweed: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy ``` Leap 15.x: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy ``` If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE. With the repository added, import its GPG key: ``` sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh ``` Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository: ``` sudo zypper dup --from snappy ``` Snap can now be installed with the following: ``` sudo zypper install snapd ``` You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH. Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor ``` ### Install CoverUP PDF Redaction Software To install CoverUP PDF Redaction Software, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install coverup ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
