EffaceMesInfos Keeps Sensitive Documents in the Browser
A free French-language tool that removes sensitive information from PDFs, Word files, and pasted text before sharing them or sending them to an AI.
- For
- People sharing documents with sensitive personal or financial information
- Worth noticing
- It separates format-based detection from names, dates, and references that users must confirm manually.
Field notes
The homepage lays out a review-first workflow rather than promising invisible automatic anonymization. It distinguishes identifiers recognized by keys or patterns from names and dates that require user confirmation, and it notes that scanned PDFs are handled zone by zone. For Word files, the stated output preserves formatting while replacing selected content with labels; the page also calls out revisions, comments, and embedded objects as cleanup tasks outside the tool.
