How it works

Redact a CV in a few clear steps

Upload a PDF or DOCX. Choose your redaction mode. Download the anonymised file. CV files are processed locally. Payments, licence checks, analytics and error reporting use online services.

1

Upload the CV

Drag a PDF or DOCX onto the tool. The file is read into browser memory only — it never leaves your device.

2

Choose a redaction mode

Standard PII, Bias Strip, Client Submission, or EEOC Blind Review. Each mode removes a different layer of identifying information from the CV.

3

Processed in your browser

pdf.js and pdf-lib draw black redaction bars over PII positions directly in the original file — preserving layout, fonts, and formatting.

4

Download the redacted CV

The redacted file downloads directly to your device. The Blob URL is immediately revoked — nothing is retained or cached.

Frequently asked questions

No. Processing happens entirely in your browser using pdf.js and mammoth.js. The redaction workflow does not upload your CV. You can verify this by opening DevTools → Network tab while processing a file: you'll see zero outbound requests containing file data.
