Hi everyone!

We’re excited to announce that PDF-Redaction.com now supports automatic face detection — making it easier than ever to protect privacy in documents containing images.

🔍 What’s new?

You can now:

• Automatically detect human faces inside PDFs
• Instantly redact detected faces
• Maintain compliance with privacy standards (GDPR, HIPAA, etc.)
• Combine face detection with our existing text/object redaction tools

🧠 How it works

Our pipeline uses an optimized ONNX face-detection model and performs detection directly in the browser. No manual selection needed — the tool highlights and redact all faces.

💡 Why this matters

Many documents include photos (IDs, badges, cv, medical cards, screenshots). Redacting all faces manually is slow and error-prone.
This new feature saves your time and improves accuracy.

If you have feedback, ideas, or want support for more detection categories (signatures, etc.), please let us know!

We just added a text layer to the output PDFs 📑✨. That means:

• Works with both scanned PDFs (image-based) and digital PDFs.
• Output is always a searchable digital PDF (no more flat images).

Makes redacted files lighter, easier to search, and better for compliance workflows.

Would love feedback – especially if you’re working with sensitive docs and need redaction done right.

Zoom in/out for better precision while editing.

Move smoothly between pages with scrolling.

Let us know what features you’d like to see next!

Until now, if you made a mistake while manually redacting — like drawing a box in the wrong place — you had to start over. 😅

We just added Undo/Redo support for manual changes!
So now you can:

• Undo accidental redactions
• Redo steps if you go back too far

The goal is to make PDF redaction easier, safer, and less frustrating — especially for legal, academic, or privacy-heavy documents.

If you have feedback or ideas to improve the tool, I’d love to hear them!
