Frequently asked questions
Is redaction permanent?
Yes. The marked content is removed from the file, not merely hidden, so it cannot be copied out later.
Can it find sensitive data automatically?
It can search for patterns like email addresses and phone numbers so you can review and redact them quickly.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Bynd PDF runs entirely in your browser, so your files are processed on your own device and never sent to us or anyone else.
