Privacy is not a paid feature
Regardless of your plan, your documents never leave your browser. The zero-upload guarantee applies to every user. We do not have the technical ability to access your files, because we never receive them.
RedactOffline provides architectural privacy guarantees (local-only processing, zero upload, zero retention). Compliance with any specific regulation remains your organization's responsibility and depends on your full processing context. Consult your legal counsel.
How much does PDF redaction cost?
PDF redaction costs vary significantly depending on whether you need server-based processing or a local tool. Here is a realistic comparison:
For most users, the free plan covers day-to-day redaction needs. The Premium plan at $9.99/month is designed for professionals who regularly handle multi-page documents or need to process multiple files in a single session.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are my documents safe on the free plan?
Absolutely. Privacy is not a premium feature, it is the foundation of RedactOffline. On both plans, your files are processed entirely in your browser. Nothing is ever uploaded to a server.
What does '100% local processing' mean?
It means the redaction engine runs directly in your browser using WebAssembly (WASM). When you open a file, it stays on your device. When you apply redactions and export, the result is generated on your device. No internet connection is needed after the app loads.
Can I cancel my Premium subscription at any time?
Yes. You can cancel at any time from your account settings. You will retain Premium access until the end of your current billing period.
Is there a free trial for Premium?
The Free plan lets you experience the core redaction workflow with no time limit. You can upgrade to Premium whenever you need batch processing or larger file support.
Do you store any of my documents?
No. RedactOffline never receives your files. They remain on your device at all times. We have no technical ability to access your documents.
How much does PDF redaction software cost?
PDF redaction costs range from free (browser-based tools like RedactOffline for documents up to 5 pages) to $9.99/month for unlimited pages and batch processing, up to $200–$500/year for enterprise tools like Adobe Acrobat Pro. The key difference: server-based tools carry upload risk; RedactOffline processes everything locally at no extra cost.
