Redact Scanned Documents & Images

Scanned PDFs, photos of documents, screenshots—our OCR technology reads text in images so AI can find and redact sensitive information.

Supports PNG, JPG, TIFF, and scanned PDFs

The Challenge

Scanned documents are just images—regular redaction tools can't read them. You can draw black boxes, but you have to find everything manually. OCR software can read the text, but it doesn't know what's sensitive and what isn't.

OCR + AI Detection

SafeRedact uses OCR to extract text from your images, then AI analyzes it for PII patterns. It finds SSNs, names, and addresses even in scanned documents, handwritten notes, and photos of paperwork.
