Whiteout vs. Redaction: What's the Difference?

⚠️ Important Security Warning: Using "Whiteout" (placing a white box over text) just hides it from view. A computer can often still copy-paste the text underneath.

If you are hiding Nuclear Launch Codes or Social Security Numbers, do not use a simple eraser tool. Use a specialized "Redaction" tool that actually deletes the underlying data.

However, if you just want to clean up a messy scan, hide a price before forwarding a quote to a client, or fix a typo on a flyer, this PDF Eraser is the perfect, lightweight tool.

How to Erase Text in a PDF

  1. Upload: Select your file above.
  2. Draw: Use your mouse to draw a white rectangle over the area you want to disappear.
  3. Matches Paper: Our tool defaults to pure white (#FFFFFF), but you can adjust the off-white color if you are fixing a scanned document.
  4. Save: Click download to flatten the PDF. The white box becomes part of the image.

Why use this instead of Adobe?

Adobe Acrobat is expensive ($20/month). Our tool is free, instant, and doesn't require an account. Perfect for that one-off quick fix.
