RedactSnap redacts sensitive information from PDFs and images.

What redaction looks like

Example before and after from the app: RedactSnap detects and redacts names, emails, phone numbers, addresses, IDs, and account numbers—with visible labels so you know exactly what was found.

Sensitive data is replaced with solid blocks. Export as PDF or image—the redaction is permanent and flattened.

Frequently asked questions

Concise answers to common questions. Plain language, no jargon.

Where are my files stored?

In the app, files are processed in memory in your browser. We do not store your documents on our servers. There is no retention—once you close the tab or download your redacted file, the original is gone from our systems.

Are my files used to train AI models?

No. Your files are never used to train our models. Customer data is never used for AI training or product improvement.

Does RedactSnap work on scanned PDFs?

Yes, when OCR is available. Scanned documents with clear, machine-readable text are processed. Low-quality scans may have limited detection.

Can RedactSnap redact images?

Yes. RedactSnap supports PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, BMP, and SVG. Images with embedded or overlay text are detected and redacted the same way as PDFs.

Is the redaction permanent?

Yes. Redacted output is flattened and baked into the file. Original sensitive content cannot be recovered from the exported document.

Can I review detections before exporting?

Yes. The workflow shows what was found and lets you confirm before the redacted file is generated. Never export blindly when handling sensitive documents.

Does RedactSnap support bulk or batch processing?

The app accepts multiple files at once. Dedicated batch processing for large volumes is planned for future releases.

Is there an API?

Not yet. An API is planned for future releases. The current product is browser-based.

What about compliance (HIPAA, SOC 2, etc.)?

RedactSnap processes files in your browser; data stays on your device. For formal compliance requirements, a dedicated security page is planned. SOC 2, HIPAA, or other certifications are planned for enterprise offerings.

What types of sensitive data does RedactSnap detect?

Names, emails, phone numbers, addresses, account numbers, IDs, SSNs, and similar identifiers. Detection quality varies with format and document quality. Handwritten text has limited support.
