Redact a PDF with AI and human review
Need to remove personal data from a PDF before sharing or publication? Anonify suggests redactions. You review and correct the result before export. Start with a fictional sample in the free document demo.
From PDF to reviewed export
Step 1
Upload a PDF
Use a fictional sample or a PDF you are authorized to use for this processing.
Step 2
Inspect suggestions
AI searches for potential personal data and sensitive passages.
Step 3
Review and correct
Check suggestions, add missed information and follow the disclosure decisions made for the document.
Step 4
Check the export
Download the PDF and check the final version before sharing or publication.
Detection in text and scans
Anonify analyzes text in digital and scanned PDFs. Check the result carefully for low-quality scans and complex pages.
Process multiple PDFs
Process PDF documents from a case file. Match page volumes to your plan and allow time to review each document.
Check the final PDF
After export, check pages, tables and readability. Verify that information you intend to keep remains and that redactions are applied correctly.
Why PDF Anonymization with Anonify?
Digital and scanned PDFs
Detection depends on the text layer and scan quality. Test representative documents; do not assume complete recognition of handwriting or complex forms.
Review personal data and identifiers
Use detection as a starting point to find names, contact details and identification numbers. Also check tables, images and information that AI did not suggest.
Your organization decides
AI does not replace legal assessment. Your organization decides what may be shared and reviews redactions before disclosure.
Focused review
Use suggestions to support your review. Correct false positives and look for missed information.
Ideal for PDF Anonymization
FOI requests
Process PDF documents that need to be released as part of FOI requests
Archive Processing
Anonymize historical PDF documents for digital archives
Reporting
Prepare PDF reports for sharing or publication with a check for sensitive information.
Questions about PDF redaction
Can I redact a PDF without an account?
Yes, the free document demo starts without an account. Begin with our fictional sample. The demo accepts PDFs up to 10 MB.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
Anonify supports OCR for scans. Recognition depends on scan quality; check the text and proposed redactions.
Is drawing black boxes the same as redaction?
Drawing a black box is not sufficient if information remains underneath. Check the actual exported file, including hidden information.
Do I still need to review the PDF?
Yes. Check both the proposed redactions and potentially missed information. Your organization retains responsibility for the final review.
What does ongoing use cost?
The document demo is free. A paid plan costs €1 for the first month, followed by €100, €200 or €300 per month depending on the page allowance. Check current pricing and terms.
