pdfanonym is a set of PDF tools that run entirely in the web browser. Documents are processed on the user's own computer by a WebAssembly PDF engine and are never uploaded to a server, which suits legal, HR, compliance and public-sector teams that handle personal data.
Privacy tools:
- Redact PDF: the text under each box is removed from the file, not just covered; areas can also remove images and drawings.
- Anonymize PDF: automatic detection of emails, phone numbers, IBANs, card numbers, IP addresses and names after a title, reviewed before redaction.
- Remove text, edit and clean metadata, flatten forms and annotations.
Other tools: merge, delete, extract, rotate and reorder pages; edit existing text, add text, sign, watermark and page numbers; compress, black and white, PDF to JPG, JPG to PDF, Word to PDF and PDF to Word; password protection (AES-256) and unlock.
The free tools need no account and add no watermark. Paid plans are reserved for professionals and add batch anonymization of many PDFs, extended detection (names without a title, postal addresses, dates of birth, number plates, VAT numbers), saved term lists and redaction reports in PDF and CSV. Pro works offline once the licence key is stored in the browser.
Pricing (excl. VAT): free tools; 24-hour pass €3; Pro €6/month or €49/year; Team €15 per user/month.
Interface in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. The source code is published under the AGPL-3.0 licence.
