Frequently Asked Questions

Is redacted information recoverable?

Redacted content is removed from the exported PDF, not just covered with a black box.

  • Text is removed from the document structure.
  • Image areas are overwritten where redactions are applied.
  • A new PDF is generated without the original hidden layers.
Do you store my documents?

No. Files are processed for the redaction job and removed after completion. Document content is not kept for later access, search, or training.

What sensitive information can True Redact detect?

True Redact can identify common PII such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, postal addresses, dates of birth, SSNs, account numbers, medical record numbers, credit cards, URLs, organizations, job titles, and custom terms you provide.

Can I choose which PII categories to redact?

Yes. Pro and Max plans include PII category selection, so you can choose the data types to remove. You can also add custom terms for exact names, IDs, codes, or phrases.

Can I process multiple PDFs at once?

Max supports batch uploads for larger redaction jobs. Files move through the same detection, redaction, and export flow with per-file progress.

Can it handle scanned PDFs?

Yes. Scanned documents are processed with OCR before detection, so True Redact can find sensitive text in image-based PDFs as well as native PDFs.

How accurate is the detection?

Detection is designed to catch likely PII across the categories you select. Custom terms help remove names, IDs, or phrases unique to your document set.

What are the file and page limits?

Each uploaded document can be up to 10 MB.

Which AI providers process document content?

True Redact uses trusted AI APIs for OCR and detection. Provider processing is used to complete the redaction job, not to build a document archive inside True Redact.

How does pricing compare with manual redaction?

Manual redaction services often charge per page and add setup time before work can begin. True Redact uses monthly page plans, so repeat redaction work stays predictable.
