About & Contact

Protect sensitive information. Keep control of your files.

RedactLocal brings PDF and image redaction, PDF text inspection, and photo metadata removal into one browser-based toolkit. Your files are processed on your device, without being uploaded to a server.

Our mission

Sharing a document or image should not mean sharing everything it contains. Our mission is to make it straightforward to remove sensitive content, identify recoverable PDF text, and clear personal metadata before files are shared.

We build tools that keep file processing on your device and make privacy part of everyday work. By bringing these capabilities together in your browser, RedactLocal gives individuals and teams a practical way to prepare files for sharing while retaining control of the originals.

Our tools

PDF Redactor

Remove sensitive content from PDFs with automatic detection and manual selection. Export a flattened copy with redactions embedded in the page images.

Metadata & EXIF Remover

Inspect photos for embedded details such as GPS location, camera information, and timestamps. Remove this metadata before sharing your images.

Open Metadata Remover

PDF export. PDF exports use image-only pages and are checked for remaining text and fonts. Text is no longer selectable or searchable, and screen-reader access may be limited. Keep the original when an editable or accessible version is needed.
