Personal information hides in more places than you expect: signatures, headers, references, contact blocks. AnonymousPDF scans the whole document and removes the personal details automatically, so you can reuse or share it safely.
Detection pairs precise pattern matching (emails, phone numbers, IBANs, card and ID numbers, IP addresses, dates) with an on-device AI model for names, organisations and places. Each value is replaced with a neutral placeholder, and the file is processed entirely on your device.

Frequently asked questions
What counts as personal information here?
Names and organisations, contact details, financial identifiers (IBANs, cards), IP addresses, ID and reference numbers, and dates.
Is the original information sent anywhere?

Can I get the cleaned text too?
Yes — use Copy text or Download text to get the anonymised text with placeholders.
Will it catch everything?
It is a strong automatic pass but not perfect; review the result before sharing, especially unusual formats.
