Bulk & Batch Redaction
Bulk PDF redaction, verified one file at a time
Redact a stack of documents without drawing a box on every page — auto-detection does the finding, you approve, and each finished file is re-scanned to prove the approved items are gone.
RedactWorks detects the sensitive data in each document, highlights every item for your approval, permanently removes what you approve — then re-scans each finished file and refuses to release it if any approved item is still there. The same verification on document one and document one thousand.
Start with 3 documents free, no card. Professionals on recurring work use the $14.99/month plan (150 documents); a $1.99 3-pack covers the occasional job.

The AI has already scanned this synthetic record. Instead of drawing boxes by hand on every page, the finding is done for you; your job is the decision on each item.
Subject Jordan A. Pemberton (ID 4415-882) was interviewed on March 14 regarding the request. Contact Maria Pemberton was reached at (555) 014-2291.
Identity verified against SSN 123-45-6789. A follow-up was sent to m.pemberton@example.com. No further action required.
The AI found 6 items — the decision is yours. Click any highlight to keep it visible; nothing is redacted until you approve.
Verified. 6 items permanently removed — the text is deleted, not covered — hidden data stripped, and the finished file re-scanned to prove it. Kept visible: none.

A faster path than boxing pages by hand
Redacting a stack in a general PDF editor means drawing a box on every page and trusting that each one landed — and in most editors a box only covers the text, which stays in the file’s text layer, recoverable with a copy-paste. Volume makes both problems worse: more pages to box, more chances to miss one, and no check on the output. Auto-detection finds the items so you review instead of hunt, and the verify pass checks every file so a miss is caught before it ships.
The same verification at document one thousand
Every document runs the same detect → review → verify flow, so volume never means dropping the check that matters. Scanned files are read with OCR and go through the same path; if a file is genuinely unreadable, RedactWorks says so instead of reporting a clean result it can’t stand behind. For recurring high-volume work, the monthly plan covers 150 documents.
How verified redaction works
- Detect. Upload the file and detection runs automatically — names, SSNs, account numbers, addresses, dates, and the identifiers that re-identify a person in context. High-risk categories (SSN, financial, medical) stay locked on.
- Review and approve. Every finding is a checkbox over still-visible text. Uncheck what should stay, add anything missed. Nothing is removed until you approve.
- Redact and verify. Approved text is permanently removed and hidden data stripped — then the finished file is re-scanned, and delivery is blocked if any approved item survives.

Common questions
Can it redact many documents without manual boxing?
Yes. Auto-detection finds the sensitive items in each file so you review and approve instead of drawing boxes by hand, and every finished file is re-scanned before release. Each document runs up to 50 pages.
Is this a real alternative to redacting in Acrobat?
For the redaction step, yes: rather than drawing boxes on each page and trusting they landed, RedactWorks detects the items, removes the text permanently, strips hidden data, and verifies the output. Compliance judgment still belongs to a person.
What does it cost?
Three documents are free with no card. After that it is $14.99/month for 150 documents, or a $1.99 pack of three.
