Redact a will or trust without uploading it.
An estate document names the people, the accounts, and the amounts that families most want kept private. When you share one as a drafting template, or file a copy where some of it can come out, the beneficiaries and the numbers do not have to travel with it. 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 share it.
A box over a beneficiary still leaves the name in the file.
Most tools redact by drawing a rectangle. On a will or trust that means the beneficiary names, the account numbers, and the bequest amounts stay in the file underneath, recoverable by moving the box or copying the text. These are exactly the details an estate is meant to keep close.
Real redaction destroys the name in the document, so a covered beneficiary or account number cannot be recovered.
KeptPDF flattens each redacted page so nothing survives under the box, and it works in your browser, so the original document 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 estate document keeps private
Auto-detect surfaces the names and numbers. The amounts only you can judge are one click from permanent removal.
Beneficiary and trustee names
The named beneficiaries, the executor or trustee, and their contact details are flagged so you can share the structure without naming the family.
SSNs and account numbers
Social Security numbers, account numbers, and policy numbers tied to the estate are surfaced across the document for your review.
Bequest amounts you choose
The figures and specific bequests are a judgment call. Box any amount or clause you want gone and it is permanently removed.
Signed or notarized copies
An executed will is often a scan with a notary block. KeptPDF runs OCR first so it can find and redact text inside the image.
How to redact a will or trust
Three steps, entirely on your device. Permanent, verifiable, no upload.
Open your document
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 document, so you are not hunting for each one by hand.
Never uploaded
There is no upload step. The document 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 estates, and for sharing a template
Estate and probate attorneys, executors and trustees handling a copy, and anyone sharing an example will or trust without exposing a real family.
