Why CloakIt

Redaction that actually holds up

Not a black box painted over the text — the data is removed, everywhere, on your Mac.

Real removal, not a black box

The text is stripped from the file. Search the exported PDF for the original value and it’s gone.

The rest stays intact

Only the parts you redact are removed — the rest of the document stays searchable and selectable.

Markup that stays real

Highlight, underline and strike export as genuine PDF annotations — not flattened pixels. The text stays selectable and searchable.

Hide every occurrence, document-wide

The same name or number repeated across pages? Hide every match with one click.

Detects national IDs across regions

SSN, EIN and ITIN (US), CPF (Brazil), CUIL (Argentina), RUT (Chile), CURP (Mexico), DNI/NIE (Spain) and more — turn on just the regions you need.

Your own sensitive words
