Questions
- Is the bank statement uploaded anywhere?
- No. PDFRedax processes the file entirely in your browser. You can open your network tab and confirm nothing is sent.
- Is the redacted text really gone?
- Yes. Redacted pages are rebuilt without the text, so it cannot be copied or recovered from the exported file.
- What does it cost?
- A one-page document is free. Longer statements are priced by total pages, with no subscription and no account.
