Pages are flattened to images so text is gone.

Is the text really removed?

Yes. On export, each page is rasterized to an image with the black boxes baked in, so the underlying text no longer exists in the file.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Everything runs in your browser.

Will the PDF still have selectable text?

No. Redacted output is image-based by design, which is what makes the redaction secure.

Is it free?

Yes, free with no limits.
