Redact Sensitive Documents Without Uploading Them to Our Servers

In RedactVault's redaction workflow, sensitive documents are processed in your browser, not on RedactVault servers. You review detections and exports before release.

Read The Details

The main product difference is simple: in the redaction workflow, sensitive documents stay in your browser instead of being uploaded to external servers for processing. Read the security and limitations pages for the full explanation.

What This Means In Practice

RedactVault is built for teams that do not want to upload sensitive documents to a vendor server just to redact them. Legal is a strong fit, and the same workflow also suits other privacy-sensitive document work.

Processed In Your Browser

In the redaction workflow, sensitive documents are processed in your browser instead of being uploaded to external servers for processing.

You Review Before Release

RedactVault helps you find and apply redactions, but you still review detections and exports before sharing a file.

Supports Common File Types

RedactVault supports PDF, DOCX, and image files, with details and limits explained in the product, security, and limitations pages.

Plain About The Limits

The product explains where local processing helps, where review is still required, and where limits depend on file type, detection quality, or export method.

Why teams choose RedactVault

Legal teams are a strong fit, and the same benefits matter in other privacy-sensitive workflows where teams do not want to upload sensitive documents to a vendor server just to redact them.

No Uploads In The Core Workflow

In the redaction workflow, sensitive documents stay in your browser instead of being uploaded to external servers for processing.

You Review Every Redaction

RedactVault can suggest redactions, but you decide what stays, what goes, and what needs a manual change before export.

Multiple Detection Methods

RedactVault uses more than one detection method to help find sensitive text, then shows the results for review.

Supports PDF, DOCX, And Images

PDF, DOCX, and image files are supported, with file-specific details and limits explained in the product, security, and limitations pages.

Manual Changes Stay Part Of The Workflow

You can adjust suggested redactions, add your own, and review the result before exporting a file.

Clear Pricing

Paid plans are priced by plan, not by page or by document, so costs are easier to predict.

How RedactVault differs from cloud redaction

Many redaction tools upload files to a vendor server before processing them. In RedactVault's redaction workflow, sensitive documents are processed in your browser without an external upload-and-process step.

Where does the file get processed?

RedactVault: Never

Where are document contents handled during processing?

Cloud: In the vendor's systems

RedactVault: In your browser session

Vendor-side exposure to sensitive documents during processing

Cloud: Possible

RedactVault: Impossible

Does it work without connectivity?

Cloud: Usually no

RedactVault: Limited offline support in some paid active-session workflows

How RedactVault works

Open a file in your browser, review suggested redactions, make any manual changes, and export only when you are satisfied. In the core workflow, sensitive documents are processed in your browser, not on RedactVault servers.

1

Open Your File

Choose a PDF, DOCX, or image file. In the core workflow, it is processed in your browser and your original file is not changed.

2

Find Sensitive Content

RedactVault looks for likely sensitive content and shows suggested redactions for review.

3

Review And Edit

Keep, remove, or add redactions so the result matches what you want to share.

4

Export The Reviewed File

Download the reviewed file only after you have checked the result.

Common questions

Straight answers on files, limits, and plans

In the redaction workflow, sensitive documents are processed in your browser and are not uploaded to RedactVault servers for processing. Accounts, billing, analytics, and support still rely on normal web services, so the security and processing details explain those limits separately.
RedactVault supports PDF, DOCX, and image files including PNG, JPG, GIF, and TIFF. File-specific limits vary, so check the product, security, and limitations pages for details.
RedactVault is designed to make exported redactions permanent, not just visual overlays. For PDFs, the export is verified and either removes matched content natively or converts fallback pages to images so hidden text is not left behind. For DOCX files, redacted text is replaced in the document package and verified. For image files, redactions are written into the exported image pixels and metadata is stripped. You should still review the exported file before sharing it.
Yes. AI redaction runs in your browser on your device, not on our servers. Because it uses your own hardware, it can take longer on slower machines or larger files, and you can cancel the run at any time.
Professional and Business users can keep using core processing offline if they sign in while connected and keep the app loaded. Offline use is limited to an active session, so a fresh app load or cold browser restart without connectivity is not supported. Accurate and Face detection are unavailable offline, and stats, sync, and billing-related features resume when you reconnect.
Detection is there to help review, not replace it. Accuracy depends on document quality, file type, OCR conditions, and the kind of content being searched, so you should review detections before export.
You can review suggested redactions, reject them, add manual ones, and adjust the result before export. Custom detection patterns and sensitivity tuning are not available yet.
Yes. There is a free Personal tier with basic redaction features. Professional and Business also offer a trial, but starting that paid trial requires Stripe Checkout and payment details.
In the core workflow, sensitive documents are processed in your browser instead of being uploaded to RedactVault servers for processing. RedactVault still uses web services for accounts, billing, analytics, and support. Review the trust pages for those details before use.
RedactVault is a web app built for desktop Chrome and Edge. Mobile browser support is still in development, so it is best used on a computer today.
