Remove an address from a PDF without uploading it.
Your home address is on more documents than you would like, and once a copy is out, you cannot pull it back. KeptPDF finds the address 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 an address still leaves it in the file.
Draw a rectangle over an address in most PDF tools and the text is still there, one click or one viewer away from coming back. For the place you live, that is not the kind of thing you want one careless copy from exposing.
Real redaction destroys the address in the PDF, so a covered street and city cannot be recovered.
KeptPDF flattens each redacted page so nothing survives under the box, and it all happens in your browser, so the file with your address intact 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.
The address, and the rest of the contact block
Addresses rarely travel alone, so auto-detect surfaces the whole contact cluster for your review, not just the street line.
Mailing and home addresses
Auto-detect flags street addresses across the document, including the header and footer blocks where they usually sit, for your review.
Phone, email, and name with it
The phone number, email, and name in the same block are surfaced too, so you can remove the whole way to reach you, not one line of it.
Account and ID numbers nearby
Statements and letters often pair the address with an account number. Those are caught in the same pass for your review.
Addresses inside a scan
If your PDF is a scan or a photo, KeptPDF runs OCR first, so it can find and remove an address printed inside an image.
How to redact an address
Three steps, entirely on your device. Permanent, verifiable, no upload.
Open your PDF
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 PDF, so you are not hunting for each one by hand.
Never uploaded
There is no upload step. The PDF 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 copy leaves but your address should not
Letters and statements posted as proof, court and public records, screenshots shared online, and forms handed to people you do not fully know.
