Redact a bank statement without uploading it.
Landlords, lenders, and benefits offices often ask for a statement, but they rarely need every account number and transaction on it. KeptPDF removes what you choose and permanently destroys the text, all in your browser. The full statement never leaves your device. Review the result before you send it.
Hiding a number behind a box still leaves it in the file.
Draw a rectangle over an account number in most PDF tools and the digits are still there, one click or one viewer away from reappearing. For a document full of account numbers and balances, that is not the protection it looks like.
Real redaction destroys the numbers in the PDF, so a covered balance or account number cannot be uncovered.
KeptPDF flattens each redacted page so nothing survives under the box, and it all happens in your browser, so the unredacted statement 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 you can remove from a statement
Auto-detect handles the identifiers. For the figures only you can judge, one click draws a box that permanently removes them.
Account and routing numbers
Auto-detect flags long digit strings and labeled account, routing, and card numbers across every page for your review.
Name, address, and contact details
The statement header usually carries your name, mailing address, and phone number. Those are surfaced automatically so you can take them out too.
Balances and transactions you choose
Dollar figures and line items are a judgment call, not automatic PII. Draw a box over any balance or transaction row and it is permanently removed, not greyed out.
Statements you scanned or photographed
If you only have a paper copy, KeptPDF runs OCR first so it can find and redact text inside the image.
How to redact a bank statement
Three steps, entirely on your device. Permanent, verifiable, no upload.
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.
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 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 a statement is the proof but the details are not the point
Loan and mortgage files, rental applications, benefits paperwork, and financial disclosures in a dispute.
