Redact a loan application without uploading it.
A loan or mortgage application is a full financial profile: SSN, income, employer, and the accounts behind it all. When a copy goes to a co-signer, a broker, or your own files, most of that does not need to ride along. KeptPDF removes what you choose and permanently destroys the text, all in your browser. The application never leaves your device. Review the result before you send it.
A box over an SSN still leaves it in the file.
Most tools redact by drawing a rectangle. On a loan application that means the SSN, the income figures, and the account numbers all stay in the file, recoverable by moving the box or copying the text. On a document this full of financial detail, that is a lot to leave behind.
Real redaction destroys the data in the application, 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 application 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 an application collects
Auto-detect handles the identifiers. The income and balances only you can judge are one click from permanent removal.
SSN and date of birth
The Social Security number and birth date on the application are flagged across every page for your review.
Bank and account numbers
The account and routing numbers for the assets you listed are detected so they do not travel on a copy.
Income and balances you choose
Income, assets, and balances are a judgment call, not automatic PII. Box any figure you want gone and it is permanently removed.
Name, address, and employer
Your name, address, and employer details are surfaced for your review, so you decide how much of the profile to keep.
How to redact a loan application
Three steps, entirely on your device. Permanent, verifiable, no upload.
Open your application
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 application, so you are not hunting for each one by hand.
Never uploaded
There is no upload step. The application 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 the application moves but the details should not
Co-signers and co-borrowers, brokers and advisors, disputes over a denied loan, and your own records after the fact.
