PDF Masker: Redaction Without the Upload

pdfmasking.com Observed source

Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based PDF redaction tool that draws over sensitive information and processes the document locally.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-17 issue.

Field notes

The workflow is deliberately narrow: select a PDF, draw over the sensitive regions, and export a flattened copy. The page attributes local processing to WebAssembly and HTML5 Canvas, and specifically warns that ordinary black shapes can leave searchable text underneath. It names rental applications, bank statements, passports, and contracts as examples, with English, French, and Spanish interface options.
