Removed, not covered
A black box drawn over text leaves the text in the file for anyone to copy out. Here the characters under each box are deleted, and image pixels under it are painted over in the image itself.
Redact PDF
Draw boxes, or find names, email addresses and numbers. What’s under them is taken out of the file, not just covered, then the result is searched again to show it’s gone.

Hidden text too
Scanned pages often carry an invisible layer of recognised text, and pages can hold alt text for screen readers. Under a box, those go as well.
Never uploaded
Redaction happens in this tab, which is the point: the documents you need to redact are the ones you shouldn’t upload anywhere.
