Brother Inkpot covers in black ink what you choose: under the black, the content leaves the file.

No file leaves your device, from import to download.
How to do it
- Drop a PDF in the area above, or choose it on your device.
- Drag across the page to cover what must disappear; change page and do it again.
- Click “Redact the PDF”, then download the copy and check it before you share it.
Redacting a PDF lets you share a document after removing for good what must not travel: a name, an address, an account number.
Brother Inkpot does everything on your device: your documents never leave your computer or your phone.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF sent to a server?
No. Everything happens in your browser, on your device. No file is sent or stored.
What happens to the rest of the redacted page?
It stays visible, as it was, but as a picture: it can no longer be selected or searched. The other pages do not change.
Do bookmarks and links still work?
Yes: those that led to a redacted page still lead there. However, the document's title, bookmarks and metadata are not checked: make sure they hold nothing secret.
Will the file be heavier?
A little: a redacted page is a picture of about 1 MB at A4 size.
