PDF anonymisation for professionals

Redact personal data from any PDF in minutes, not hours.

Upload a contract, an invoice or a payslip. Veildoc finds the names, ID numbers, phone numbers, emails, addresses, bank accounts and dates of birth, blacks them out, and lets you review every mark before you download a truly redacted PDF.

What Veildoc looks for

The seven kinds of personal data that appear in almost every contract, invoice and payslip. Company data — the issuer's name, tax ID and registered office — is left untouched.

NamesFirst names and surnames
ID numbersDNI, NIE, passport, Social Security
Phone numbersMobile and landline
EmailsPersonal addresses
AddressesStreet, number, postcode, town
Bank accountsIBAN and card numbers
Dates of birthNot other dates on the page
Anything elseDraw a box or search a word

Three steps. You keep the last word.

The AI does the tedious search; a professional decides what gets covered. Nothing is exported until you are satisfied.

Step 1

Open your PDF

Drop a digital or scanned PDF. It opens in your browser; scanned pages are read with on-device text recognition.

Step 2

Review the marks

Every detection appears as a black box on the page and in a list. Switch any of them off with one click, or draw extra boxes by hand.

Step 3

Download the redacted file

Veildoc rebuilds every page with the boxes burned in and checks that no hidden text remains in the file.

Real redaction, not a black rectangle on top

Many “redacted” PDFs still contain the original text under the black box. Anyone can select it, copy it or search for it. Veildoc removes it.

✕ Drawn-on box

What a PDF editor usually does

A shape is placed over the text. Select the page and paste it anywhere:

Employee: Aoife Byrne PPS Number: 1234567TA

The data is still in the file.

✓ Veildoc

What you download

Each page is rebuilt as a flat image with the boxes burned in. The original text layer is not copied into the new file:

(no selectable text — 0 characters)

After export, Veildoc re-opens the file and confirms it contains no text.

What this means for the final file: the redacted PDF looks and prints exactly like the original, but its text can no longer be selected, searched or copied — that applies to the whole document, not just the covered parts. It is also larger (typically 200–600 KB per page). Keep the original for internal work, and share the redacted copy.

Built for people who anonymise documents every week

Accounting & advisory firms

Share payslips, invoices and tax paperwork with third parties without exposing your clients' personal data.

Law firms

Anonymise contracts, rulings and evidence before filing, publishing or sending them to the other side.

HR departments

Respond to audits, data-access requests and internal reviews with employee records that respect the GDPR.

Handled the way confidential documents should be

Your file stays with you

The PDF is opened and rendered inside your browser. The file itself is never uploaded to our server.

Only text is analysed

To detect personal data we send the text of each page — not images — to our detection engine, and we do not keep it.

Nothing is stored

We keep your account, your balance and a log of pages processed. No documents, no file names, no extracted data.

Simple pricing. One credit = one page.

A 3-page contract uses 3 credits. Blank pages and pages that fail to process are refunded automatically.

Questions

Is the redaction really irreversible?

Yes. The exported file is built from flat page images with the black boxes already painted in. The original text layer, fonts and metadata are not carried over, so there is nothing underneath to recover. Veildoc re-opens every exported file and confirms it contains zero characters of text.

What changes in the downloaded file?

It looks and prints the same, but no text can be selected, searched or copied anywhere in it, and it is larger than the original. Links, form fields and bookmarks are not kept. That is exactly what a document you share with third parties should be.

Can the AI miss something?

It can. Handwriting, low-quality scans and unusual formats reduce accuracy. That is why you review every page before exporting, can search any word and redact all its occurrences, and can draw boxes by hand over anything else. You are responsible for checking the result before sharing it.

Does it work with scanned documents?

Yes. Pages without a text layer are read with text recognition that runs on your own device, in Spanish and English. Accuracy depends on scan quality.

What is a credit?

One page processed. A 12-page contract uses 12 credits. Blank pages, and pages the detection engine could not process, are refunded automatically. Reviewing, adjusting and downloading are free.

Where is my document processed?

The PDF is opened in your browser and never uploaded. Only the extracted text of each page is sent to our server, which passes it to an AI provider to identify personal data and then discards it. See the Privacy Policy for details.

How do I pay, and who issues the invoice?

Payments are processed securely by Paddle.com, our reseller and Merchant of Record. You can pay by card, PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Paddle charges the VAT that applies in your country and emails you an invoice with every payment.
