Frequently asked questions

How is this different from drawing a black rectangle?

A drawn rectangle just sits on top — the text is still there and can be copied out. Kameleo rasterizes the page so the content underneath no longer exists in the file.

Is the redaction reversible?

No — that's the point. Keep your original file if you need the unredacted version.

Does anyone see my document?

No. The whole redaction happens in your browser; the file is never uploaded.
