or choose a file. The tool can miss a bank or tax number, so you can add it after the file opens.

Stays on your device

Your invoice stays on your device or secure network and never touches our servers. The page has no server code. PDF.js and the optional AI model run in your browser.

Read each page

Automatic detection can miss data, such as a tax ID or a bank number with no spaces. Read each page before you share the file. Type a missed value in the list of words to hide, or drag a bar over it.

It hides data only

This tool hides data with black bars. Do not use it to change amounts or dates. Your original file does not change, so keep it.

What to hide and what to keep

The right choice depends on why you share the invoice.

A work sample

Hide the client name, address and contact details, the amounts, and your payment details. Keep your name, the layout and the list of services.

Expense evidence

Keep the date, the seller, the invoice number and the total. Hide your bank details, your home address and any item that is not part of the expense.

A dispute

Keep the items, quantities, amounts, dates and invoice number, because the other side needs them. Hide only your bank details, tax ID and personal contact details.

Fields to look for

  • Bank details: IBAN, account number, sort code, routing number
  • Tax IDs: VAT, GST or company numbers
  • Names, addresses, emails and phone numbers

Read each page before you share

Automatic detection can miss data, such as a tax ID in an unusual format. Read each page. Type a missed value in the list of words to hide, or drag a bar over it. The example PDF is a made-up letter, not an invoice.

Where your file stays

Your invoice stays on your device or secure network and never touches our servers. Read our privacy policy. For other documents, use the PDF Redactor, or try the Bank Statement Redactor.

Frequently asked questions

Which parts of an invoice should I hide?

It depends on why you share it. For a work sample, hide the client name, the client address, the amounts and the payment details. For expense evidence, keep the date, the seller, the total and the invoice number. For a dispute, keep the items, the amounts and the dates, and hide only your bank details.

How do I hide my bank details on an invoice?

Open the invoice, then type your IBAN, account number or sort code in "Always hide these words and numbers". The tool puts a bar on the number at each location in the file. Read each page before you share the file.

Can I show an invoice to a client or an employer as a work sample?

Yes. Hide the name of the client and the contact details, and think about the amounts. Keep the layout, the list of services and your own name, so the reader can see your work. Check your contract first, because some clients do not allow you to share their documents.

Can I send a redacted invoice as expense evidence?

Ask the person who receives it what must stay visible. This can be the date, the seller, the invoice number and the total. We cannot say what a given recipient accepts. Keep your original file, because the recipient can ask for it.

Does my invoice go to a server?

No. Your invoice stays on your device or secure network and never touches our servers. The browser downloads the code of the page and, if you turn on AI, a language model. These downloads contain no data from your invoice.

Why does the tool not find a tax ID or an invoice number?

Tax IDs, VAT numbers and reference codes have many formats, and the tool can miss them. Type the value in "Always hide these words and numbers", or drag a bar over it. Do the same for other data that the tool misses.

Can I change an amount on an invoice with this tool?

No. The tool only adds black bars. It cannot add or edit text. If an invoice has an error, ask the seller for a corrected invoice.

Can someone read the data under a bar?

No. The new PDF has only images of your pages, and the bars are part of those images. The text of the invoice is not in the new file. For this reason, no one can select or search the text in the new file.

My invoice has a password or is a scan. Can I use it?

Remove the password in another PDF program first, because the tool cannot open a file that has a password. A scan has no text that the tool can read, so drag a bar over each item on each page.
