A browser-based tool that removes sensitive text from PDFs and Word documents locally, then verifies the result and issues a certificate.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-28 issue.

Field notes

The workflow separates detection, human review, destructive removal, and verification rather than treating a visual overlay as sufficient. Its stated removal step rebuilds each PDF page as a 300-DPI image and excludes metadata, annotations, attachments, hidden layers, and old revisions. The verification stage combines three independent text extractors with structural checks, and the sample certificate records 13 of 13 checks passed alongside a SHA-256 fingerprint.
