PDF Redaction Studio is a desktop app for redacting sensitive information from PDF documents using AI.

1. AI-Powered PII Detection

Turn hours of manual review into seconds with built-in AI that finds sensitive information automatically.

• Automatic PII scanning — AI scans every page and highlights names, emails, phone numbers, IDs, addresses, and more
• 15+ entity types — Names, ages, emails, phones, SSNs, passports, driver licenses, credit cards, account numbers, dates, locations, addresses, zip codes, IPs, URLs, organizations, medical conditions
• Face & object detection — CV model detects and redacts faces and visual identifiers
• OCR support — Extracts and redacts text from scanned PDFs and image-based documents
• Per-page status — Each page reports Pending, Processing, Done, or Error status
• Real-time progress log — Live feed shows detection progress page by page

2. Manual Redaction Tools

Full control for edge cases the AI might miss.

• Text selection — Click any text to mark it for redaction
• Draw tool — Drag a box over any region — image, table, or signature
• Eraser tool — Remove redaction boxes without affecting the document
• Search & redact — Search a word or phrase; redact every occurrence at once
• Autocomplete search — Suggestions based on text found in the document
• Undo / Redo — 50-level edit history

3. PDF Viewer & Navigation

• Four view modes — Original, Highlighted, Redacted preview, and PII table
• Zoom controls — 50%–300% range plus auto page-width fit
• Page navigation — Jump to any page via pagination or direct input
• Interactive overlays — Click any highlighted region to inspect or edit it

4. PII Filtering & Review

• Filter by category — Six groups: Personal, Contact, Location, Web, Identifiers, CV/Manual
• Individual type toggles — Enable or disable each of the 15+ entity types independently
• Real-time counts — Each PII type shows a live count of detected instances
• Mark as reviewed — Flag a document as fully reviewed before download
