About Whiteout PDF

Whiteout works like correction tape: drag a white box over anything you want to hide, then type new text on top. It is quick for visual fixes; when the hidden content must really be gone, use Redact PDF instead.

Useful for

  • Cover an old date and write the new one
  • Hide a logo or a header
  • Clean up a scanned page
  • Remove a stray mark

No. Whiteout only covers content visually. For sensitive data use Redact PDF, which deletes it.

Is it free?+

Yes, completely free: no signup, no watermark, no paywall at download.

Are my files uploaded to a server?+

No. Everything is processed locally in your browser, so your files never leave your device.
