Hey Product Hunt! I’m Morgan Thomas, Project Manager at Redactable. 👋
We’re thrilled to launch Redactable, an AI-powered automated redaction tool designed to help organizations securely and efficiently protect sensitive information in their documents. Traditional redaction methods—like black boxes or manual edits—are slow, error-prone, and often leave hidden data exposed. Redactable automates the entire process, ensuring permanent redaction, metadata removal, and team collaboration—all in a browser-based platform.
Why we built Redactable Organizations in legal, government, healthcare, and finance handle highly confidential information daily, but existing redaction tools were either unreliable or too time-consuming. We wanted to create a faster, more secure, and fully automated redaction solution that truly works—without the risk of overlooked data.
Key Features
✅ AI-powered redaction – 98% faster than manual methods
✅ Guaranteed metadata removal – eliminates hidden data risks
✅ OCR for scanned documents – ensures nothing gets missed
✅ Cloud-based & collaborative – work seamlessly with your team
✅ Audit-ready redaction certificates – compliance made easy
🚀 We’d love your feedback! Try it out and let us know what you think. Drop a comment, ask questions, and help us improve. Thanks for your support! ❤️
Jason here, running Operations at Redactable. I spend most days digging into our data, automating processes, and chatting with our customers hearing their document headaches – and let me tell you, nothing beats that "wow" moment when they see how our automated redaction turns hours of mind-numbing work into just a few clicks.
What people keep telling us is how our tool just make sense. We built it by really listening to those in the trenches – lawyers drowning in discovery documents, government workers facing mountains of FOIA requests (plenty of those around the Beltway!), and healthcare providers juggling patient records.
Our team doesn't just hand you software and disappear. We're right there with you during setup, like good neighbors. Switching tools can be a pain, especially when you're handling sensitive stuff, so we'll make sure your team gets comfortable quickly and starts saving time from day one.
I'd genuinely love to hear what you think as you try Redactable. Your feedback shapes what we build next – some of our best features came from casual conversations with users just sharing their wish list.
If you want to grab some one-on-one time to see how Redactable fits your specific needs, just book a personal demo.
I'm Muthu - Head of Data Science at Redactable. I'm excited to share a bit about the technology and security behind our platform.
What many don't realize is that traditional redaction methods often leave behind invisible sensitive data in documents. When you place a black box over text in a PDF, the underlying text typically remains intact and can be extracted. Even worse, metadata containing sensitive information stays embedded in the file. This creates significant security vulnerabilities that most organizations aren't equipped to address.
At Redactable, we've built an AI-powered platform that doesn't just mask sensitive information—it completely eliminates it. Our advanced AI models identify personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI) and permanently remove both the visible content and the underlying data that conventional tools miss. Unlike many competing solutions that limit document size, Redactable can efficiently process extremely large files—even PDFs exceeding 1,000 pages—without compromising speed or accuracy.
Security is foundational to everything we build. We've developed Redactable following advanced security protocols, including a zero trust architecture via Cloudflare and strong encryption practices. We've adopted a shift-left approach, incorporating security considerations into every stage of design, development, and operations.
For organizations with strict compliance requirements, we tick all the boxes:
We're HIPAA compliant, ensuring sensitive health information is properly secured
All data is encrypted at rest using FIPS 140-2 validated crypto modules with AES 256 encryption
Data in transit is secured using TLS 1.2+
We're SOC 2 Type 2 compliant, which means our infrastructure, software, processes, and operations have undergone rigorous formal review
We run monthly vulnerability scans against all systems to ensure real-time security
All data is stored in US-based private clouds hosted by AWS with multi-zone redundancy
The technical challenge of proper redaction has been overlooked for too long. It's been rewarding to build a solution that finally addresses this gap, allowing legal teams, government agencies, healthcare providers, and financial institutions to confidently handle sensitive documents without compromising security or efficiency.
Happy to dive deeper into any technical aspects you're curious about!
Congrats on the launch! This would be so useful for startups trying to get their first enterprise / business customers that don't want to share PII or sensitive data without a SOC2 in place.
I love this! So has the information removed by Redactable been processed irreversibly to ensure that the original content cannot be recovered by any means?
@mia618601587321 Yes, exactly right. Redactable permanently deletes sensitive information - not just visually masks it. Unlike using black boxes in design or PDF software that can be reversed, we completely eliminate the data and metadata, making it truly unrecoverable by any means.

Congrats with launch! I expect that API integration could be a useful thing for your tool too. This will allow large customers to incorporate sensitive info redaction in their existing document processing pipelines.
Excellent point about integration capabilities for larger customers. We appreciate suggestions that help shape the product!

Congrats to the Redactable team on the long sought launch! For thise who code: this is the gh/trufflesecurity/trufflehog of documents—sniffing out sensitive info and tidying it up seamlessly. Love how you’re making redactions and metadata cleanup so effortless and secure. Keep up the awesome work!
