Redact a credit report without uploading it.
A credit report is a single file with your Social Security number, every account number, and your full address history. When you share one to dispute an item or prove standing, almost none of that needs to come along. KeptPDF removes what you choose and permanently destroys the text, all in your browser. The report never leaves your device. Review the result before you send it.
A box over an account number still leaves it in the file.
Most tools redact by drawing a rectangle. On a credit report that means the SSN, the account numbers, and the address history all stay in the file, recoverable by moving the box or copying the text. On a document this dense with identifiers, that is a lot left exposed.
Real redaction destroys the data in the report, so a covered SSN or account number cannot be brought back.
KeptPDF flattens each redacted page so nothing survives under the box, and it works in your browser, so the full report is never uploaded to a server. You can verify it yourself in the network tab.
A filled rectangle just sits on top of the text. Move it, switch viewers, or copy the page, and the hidden content is back.
The page is flattened to an image, so the text underneath is destroyed. There is nothing left to uncover.
What a credit report exposes
Auto-detect surfaces the identifiers stacked through the report, so trimming it to what a recipient needs is a review, not a page-by-page hunt.
SSN and date of birth
Your Social Security number and birth date sit at the top of the report. Both are flagged across the pages for your review.
Account and loan numbers
Every tradeline carries an account number. Auto-detect surfaces the long digit strings so they do not travel on a shared copy.
Address and employer history
The report lists past addresses and employers. Those are detected so you can remove the trail you do not need to disclose.
Reports you scanned or saved
If your copy is a scan or a photo, KeptPDF runs OCR first so it can find and redact text inside the image.
How to redact a credit report
Three steps, entirely on your device. Permanent, verifiable, no upload.
Open your report
Drop your file onto the page or pick it from your device. It loads into your browser, and nothing is sent anywhere.
Mark what to redact
Auto-detect finds names, dates, Social Security numbers, account numbers, and more. Draw boxes over anything else you want gone.
Download the clean copy
Save it. The marked content is permanently gone: the page is flattened to an image, not hidden behind a box. Give the result a quick review before you share it.
Permanent removal, nothing uploaded.
True text destruction
Each redacted page is flattened to an image, so the text layer is gone, not just covered with a shape. Content under a redaction box cannot be copied, selected, or recovered. Review the result before you share it.
Auto-detect the obvious stuff
One pass finds names, dates, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, addresses, and emails across the whole report, so you are not hunting for each one by hand.
Never uploaded
There is no upload step. The report is processed entirely in your browser, so the original is never part of a network request and never sits on anyone else's server.
Redaction certificate (Pro)
Pro adds a signed PDF and JSON audit record listing every redacted span, category, and page, which is handy for productions and compliance files. Anyone you send it to can re-check the fingerprint in their own browser, with nothing uploaded.
When you need to show one line, not your whole file
Disputing an item with a furnisher, sharing proof with a lender or attorney, and identity-theft paperwork where less exposure is the point.
