Redact PDF

Redact a mortgage statement without uploading it.

A mortgage statement is common proof of payment or ownership, but the loan number, the escrow breakdown, and your remaining balance are rarely what a verifier actually needs. KeptPDF removes what you choose and permanently destroys the text, all in your browser. The original never leaves your device. Review the result before you send it.

A box over the loan number still leaves it in the file.

Most PDF tools redact by drawing a rectangle on top. The loan number, the escrow detail, and the payment history stay in the file underneath, recoverable by moving the box or copying the text. On a statement you are handing over to prove one thing, that is far more than the other side needs.

The difference in one sentence

Real redaction destroys the text in the statement, so a covered loan number cannot be recovered.

KeptPDF flattens each redacted page so nothing survives under the box, and it all happens in your browser, so the original statement is never uploaded to a server. You can verify it yourself in the network tab.

A black box

A filled rectangle just sits on top of the text. Move it, switch viewers, or copy the page, and the hidden content is back.

KeptPDF

The page is flattened to an image, so the text underneath is destroyed. There is nothing left to uncover.

Covering text is not removing it. Give the result a quick review before you share it.

What a mortgage statement carries that you can drop

Auto-detect surfaces the identifiers. The balances and history only you can judge are one click from permanent removal.

Loan and account numbers

The loan number, the servicer account number, and any reference IDs are flagged across the statement for your review.

Name, address, and co-borrower

Your name, the property and mailing address, and a co-borrower's details are surfaced so you decide how much identity to keep on the copy.

Balance, escrow, and history you choose

The remaining balance, the escrow breakdown, and the payment history are a judgment call, not automatic PII. Box anything you want gone and it is permanently removed.

Statements you scanned or saved

If you only have a scanned or photographed copy, KeptPDF runs OCR first so it can find and redact text inside the image.

How to redact a mortgage statement

Three steps, entirely on your device. Permanent, verifiable, no upload.

1

Open your statement

Drop your file onto the page or pick it from your device. It loads into your browser, and nothing is sent anywhere.

2

Mark what to redact

Auto-detect finds names, dates, Social Security numbers, account numbers, and more. Draw boxes over anything else you want gone.

3

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 statement, so you are not hunting for each one by hand.

Never uploaded

There is no upload step. The statement 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 they need one fact, not your whole loan

Refinance and assistance applications, proof of ownership or payment, rental and benefits paperwork, and any form that asks for a recent statement.

Questions, answered.

Does blacking out the loan number remove it?
Not with most tools. A filled box is an overlay, so the number stays in the file and reappears if the box is moved or the text is copied. KeptPDF flattens the page so the number underneath is destroyed.
Can I keep my name but hide the balance and account?
Yes. You control each box, so you can leave the one detail a verifier needs and remove the loan number, balance, and escrow breakdown. Review the statement before you save.
Does it work on a scanned statement?
Yes. KeptPDF OCRs image-only pages before redacting, so it can find and permanently remove text that exists only as part of a scan or photo.
Is it free, and is the statement uploaded?
It is free with no account, and the statement is processed in your browser, so nothing is uploaded. Pro ($29/month) adds a signed redaction certificate.
