About PDF Masker

PDF Masker is a free, privacy-first web utility built to help individuals, freelancers, and businesses redact confidential information from PDF documents safely.

1. 100% Local Browser Processing

When you drag, drop, or select a PDF file, all parsing, rendering, redaction mask overlays, and file assembly operations take place exclusively inside your browser memory using WebAssembly and client-side JavaScript.

2. Zero Server Uploads or File Storage

We do not upload, transmit, copy, log, or store your PDF files on any remote server or cloud database. Your documents never leave your local device. Once you close or refresh the browser tab, all in-memory file data is permanently erased.

3. Tamper-Proof Redaction Guarantee

When using HD Tamper-Proof Flattening, masked PDF pages are converted into rasterized graphic layers. The underlying text characters and vector glyphs under redacted zones are destroyed permanently, making text extraction or recovery impossible.

4. Cookies & Analytics

We do not use advertising cookies, user profiling, or personal data sales. Minimal, anonymous aggregate performance metrics may be used solely to monitor site availability and application stability.

5. GDPR & Compliance Ready

Because no document data or personally identifiable information (PII) is transmitted to or stored on our servers, PDF Masker inherently complies with GDPR principles of data minimization and storage limitation.
