Why Wipeout beats basic redaction

Hidden data and reversible boxes are the biggest risks. We handle both with scanning, review, and irreversible cleanup.

Wipeout

Scans and removes docinfo, XMP, layers, forms, annotations, links, JavaScript, attachments, and more.

Basic tools

Only covers visible text; hidden metadata and layers remain intact and recoverable.

Wipeout

Applies irreversible redactions and flattens all layers; optional qpdf sanitization for maximum security.

Basic tools

Black rectangles leave text extractable via copy/paste or PDF editors.

Wipeout

Toggle detections, add manual boxes, and review all changes before applying.

Basic tools

One-click cover without validation or review.

Wipeout

One-time payment per PDF; local-only apps available for unlimited processing.

Basic tools

Recurring subscription plans for occasional use.
