FAQ

Is the redaction permanent?

Yes. Black rectangles are drawn directly onto the PDF content. The original text or images beneath the redaction cannot be recovered.

Does PDFGem upload my file to a server?

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser. Your PDF never leaves your device.

Can I redact multiple pages?

Yes. Navigate between pages and draw redaction boxes on any page. All redactions are applied at once when you click Apply.

Can I undo a redaction after downloading?

No. Once applied, the redaction is permanent and irreversible. Keep a copy of the original file if needed.

What types of content can I redact?

You can redact any visible content — text, images, signatures, stamps, or any area on the page. The selected area is permanently covered with a black rectangle.
