ToGoOven

Truly redact data in a PDF

A black box on top is not enough: the text is still there and can be copied. ToGoOven erases what you redact from the file, and can find emails, phone numbers, card numbers and ID numbers on its own.

Open “Redact PDF”

Free, no sign-up and no watermark. It opens in your browser.

What it does

Truly erase areas, words, emails, phones, cards or ID numbers: gone from the file, not just hidden.

How to use it

  1. Open “Redact PDF” and pick the document.
  2. Mark areas by hand or type words; turn on emails, phone numbers, cards or ID numbers.
  3. Tap “Redact PDF” and download the copy without that data.

Your files never leave your device

ToGoOven runs “Redact PDF” in your browser, with code that runs on your device. The file is not uploaded to any server: nobody else sees it and it is not stored in someone else’s cloud.

If your device is slow or the file is very large, Premium lets you choose the ToGoOven server instead: only when you ask, with your permission for each job, and the file is deleted when it is done.

Frequently asked questions

Can redacted text be recovered?

No. What you redact leaves the file, not just the view: it cannot be copied or searched afterwards.

Why do it without uploading the file?

Because what you redact is exactly what you do not want to share. Here the document never leaves your device.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No, unless you ask. “Redact PDF” runs in your browser; with Premium you can pick the ToGoOven server for a heavy file, which asks for your permission before sending it and deletes it when done.

Is it free?

Yes, and with no watermark. The free plan shows ads, kept apart and unable to see your files. Premium removes the ads, works offline and accepts larger files.

Does it work without internet?

With Premium, yes: the tools keep working offline. On the free plan you need a connection to open the app, although the file is still processed on your device.
