Redact PDF

Redact a shipping label without uploading it.

Resellers post a label as proof a parcel shipped, but the label carries a home address and phone number that nobody on a marketplace needs to see. 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 post it.

A box over the address still leaves it in the file.

Most PDF tools redact by drawing a rectangle on top. The sender and recipient addresses, the phone number, and the order details stay in the file underneath, recoverable by moving the box or copying the text. On a label you are posting to strangers, that is your home address one click from being read.

The difference in one sentence

Real redaction destroys the address on the label, so a covered home address cannot be recovered.

KeptPDF flattens each redacted page so nothing survives under the box, and it works in your browser, so the original label 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 shipping label exposes

Auto-detect surfaces the addresses and contacts, so proof of shipment does not double as your home address.

Sender and recipient address

The from and to addresses are flagged so you can show the parcel shipped without showing where you or your buyer live.

Phone, email, and order number

Phone numbers, emails, and the order or reference number printed on the label are surfaced for your review.

Anything else you choose

Barcodes, postage accounts, or notes you would rather not share are a box away from permanent removal.

Screenshots and scanned labels

If the label is a screenshot or a scan, KeptPDF runs OCR first so it can find and redact text inside the image.

How to redact a shipping label

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

1

Open your label

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

Never uploaded

There is no upload step. The label 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.

For sellers who share proof of shipment

Resellers on the big marketplaces, small shops mailing orders, and anyone who posts a label to prove a parcel went out.

Questions, answered.

Does blacking out the address remove it?
Not with most tools. A filled box is an overlay, so the address stays in the file and reappears if the box is moved or the text is copied. KeptPDF flattens the page so the address underneath is destroyed.
Can I prove a parcel shipped without showing my address?
Yes. You control each box, so you can keep the carrier and tracking visible and remove the addresses, phone, and order number. Review the label before you post it.
Does it work on a screenshot of a label?
Yes. KeptPDF OCRs image-only pages before redacting, so it can find and permanently remove text that exists only as part of an image.
Is it free, and is the label uploaded?
It is free with no account, and the label is processed in your browser, so nothing is uploaded. Pro ($29/month) adds a signed redaction certificate.
