Find sensitive data, review every item, save a verified redacted file. Only what you approve gets removed.
The only redaction app that proves its work.
RedactWorks finds sensitive data in your documents — names, Social Security numbers, account numbers, phone numbers, addresses, medical details and more — highlights every item for YOUR review, and only redacts what you approve.
PERMANENT, NOT PAINTED OVER
The text under every black box is removed, not covered. Hidden data — metadata, annotations, form fields, embedded content — is stripped too, so nothing can be recovered by copy-paste or by opening the file in another app.
VERIFIED BEFORE YOU SAVE
After redaction, the output is re-extracted and re-scanned. If anything you approved is still present, the file is held back until you've seen it. You save a document that has been checked, not one you hope is clean.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Choose a PDF, photo, scan, Word, Excel or PowerPoint file, or an email attachment.
2. RedactWorks highlights every sensitive item it finds, by type.
3. Review the list — keep or remove each item, or ask for changes in plain language.
4. Approve. The redacted file is verified and saved to your phone, ready to share.
WHAT IT REDACTS
• Names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses
• Social Security, passport, driver's licence and account numbers
• Dates of birth, medical and financial details
• Anything else you mark yourself
WHY PEOPLE USE IT
• Sending a lease, medical form or bank statement to someone who only needs part of it
• Sharing a screenshot or photo of a document without exposing personal details
• Records requests, court filings and HR paperwork that must be redacted properly
• Cleaning up scans before they go into email or a shared drive
YOUR FILES, YOUR CALL
Delete everything RedactWorks holds for you at any time. Deletion is re-checked against storage and confirmed, not just promised.
