About Redactly: Redact PDF
Need to black out an account number, address or signature in a PDF before you share it? Redactly lets you draw redaction boxes and exports a new PDF where that content is actually removed — not just covered up. Open a PDF, drag to draw black boxes over anything private, page by page, and tap Apply Redaction. Then share the redacted copy or save it to Files. • TRUE REMOVAL — every page with a redaction box is flattened into an image with solid black over your boxes, so the hidden text can't be selected, copied, searched or uncovered by deleting a shape. • DRAW WITH A FINGER — drag to draw a box over text, numbers, photos or signatures; touch and hold a box to remove it, or clear a whole page and start again. • ALL YOUR PAGES — move between pages with the page strip and redact as many pages as you need, up to 300 pages per PDF. • OTHER PAGES STAY SHARP — pages without boxes are copied as they are, so their text stays crisp and selectable, and their links and bookmarks are kept. • NO HIDDEN LEFTOVERS — comments and form annotations are not copied back onto redacted pages — a redacted page carries only what you see on it. • SHARE OR SAVE — send the redacted PDF by Mail or Messages, or save it to Files. Your original file isn't changed. Honest scope: you choose what to redact — Redactly doesn't search for or detect sensitive text automatically, so check every page. Redacted pages become images, so their remaining text is no longer selectable. Password-protected PDFs need to be unlocked first. Everything happens on your iPhone. Your documents are not uploaded and no account is needed. Redacting and previewing are free: check every redacted page before you pay. A one-time $4.99 purchase unlocks saving and sharing the redacted PDF. No subscription, no ads. Questions: [email protected]
What’s new
Version 1.0.9 · Updated October 17, 2026
Fixed: boxes you draw now stay on the page. On some devices a box disappeared as soon as you lifted your finger, so nothing could be redacted. A quick swipe along a line of text now also makes a box that covers the whole line.
