Drag a box over anything sensitive. Redacted pages are flattened to images, so the hidden text is genuinely gone.
This is real redaction. When you black out part of a page, that page is flattened to an image before it is saved, so the hidden words are genuinely gone and cannot be copied out. That is different from a black box drawn over live text. Pages you do not touch keep their text as normal.
Review the finished result carefully before using it for office work, an employer, a school, the IRCC portal or another government website. Check page order, dates, names, signatures, readability and the file-size limit for the exact upload form. Keep your original file so you can make changes or provide a clearer copy later.
No. The page under a black box is flattened to an image, so the original text is removed, not just covered.
Yes. Only the pages you redact become images. The rest keep their real, selectable text.
