Hey Product Hunt community! 👋
I'm Amanda, founder and CEO of Redactable. We're incredibly excited to share our AI-powered redaction platform with you today!
The journey of Redactable began when I was working as a loan consultant and realized something alarming – those black boxes I was drawing over my clients' sensitive information weren't actually protecting their data. Anyone with basic technical skills could access what was underneath. This wasn't just a small oversight – it was a massive privacy and security gap affecting countless professionals handling sensitive documents.
We built Redactable to solve this problem once and for all. Our platform doesn't just visually hide information—it permanently removes sensitive data, including hidden data and metadata that most people don't even know exists. And we've made it 98% faster than traditional tools.
What I'm most proud of is that we're democratizing document redaction. Before Redactable, redaction was incredibly time-consuming or required expensive enterprise solutions. Now, professionals across legal, healthcare, finance, government, and other sectors can protect sensitive information efficiently and reliably – from any browser, without downloads or complex training.
I'd love to hear your thoughts and answer any questions about Redactable. And if you've ever struggled with document redaction, I'd be curious to learn about your experience! 🚀
It's very easy to understand what problem you're solving. I also like the simplicity of the website's design. Cool!
I would wish something like this for video. E.g. when I share a screen and there is some document or data I want to "remove" form the sight. Do you plan something like this for video content?
@busmark_w_nika this is a great suggestion, thank you! Currently we only focus on PDF, and documents converted to PDF.
Hey Product Hunt community!
Jason here, running Operations at Redactable. I spend most days digging into our data, automating processes, and chatting with our customers hearing their document headaches – and let me tell you, nothing beats that "wow" moment when they see how our automated redaction turns hours of mind-numbing work into just a few clicks.
What people keep telling us is how our tool just make sense. We built it by really listening to those in the trenches – lawyers drowning in discovery documents, government workers facing mountains of FOIA requests (plenty of those around the Beltway!), and healthcare providers juggling patient records.
Our team doesn't just hand you software and disappear. We're right there with you during setup, like good neighbors. Switching tools can be a pain, especially when you're handling sensitive stuff, so we'll make sure your team gets comfortable quickly and starts saving time from day one.
I'd genuinely love to hear what you think as you try Redactable. Your feedback shapes what we build next – some of our best features came from casual conversations with users just sharing their wish list.
If you want to grab some one-on-one time to see how Redactable fits your specific needs, just book a personal demo.
Looking forward to connecting!
Hi Product Hunt!
I’m Boris - Growth at Redactable. Our users often tell us how they struggled before finding us—spending hours manually blacking out text, only to discover the sensitive data was still accessible beneath those black boxes. Even worse, hidden metadata kept exposing their clients' information.
What drives us is making proper data protection accessible to everyone. We've built Redactable to slash redaction time by 98% compared to the old-school methods, and we've made it super easy to keep track of what's been redacted with a clean paper trail that keeps auditors happy.
When users tell us they've transformed multi-day redaction projects into minutes while eliminating data exposure risks, we know we're solving a real problem. If you're handling sensitive documents, we'd love to hear how we can help you protect data more effectively.
Share your feedback, and help us to make our platform better! 🤗
Hey Product Hunt! I’m Morgan Thomas, Project Manager at Redactable. 👋
We’re thrilled to launch Redactable, an AI-powered automated redaction tool designed to help organizations securely and efficiently protect sensitive information in their documents. Traditional redaction methods—like black boxes or manual edits—are slow, error-prone, and often leave hidden data exposed. Redactable automates the entire process, ensuring permanent redaction, metadata removal, and team collaboration—all in a browser-based platform.
Why we built Redactable
Organizations in legal, government, healthcare, and finance handle highly confidential information daily, but existing redaction tools were either unreliable or too time-consuming. We wanted to create a faster, more secure, and fully automated redaction solution that truly works—without the risk of overlooked data.
Key Features
✅ AI-powered redaction – 98% faster than manual methods
✅ Guaranteed metadata removal – eliminates hidden data risks
✅ OCR for scanned documents – ensures nothing gets missed
✅ Cloud-based & collaborative – work seamlessly with your team
✅ Audit-ready redaction certificates – compliance made easy
🚀 We’d love your feedback! Try it out and let us know what you think. Drop a comment, ask questions, and help us improve. Thanks for your support! ❤️
Hey Product Hunt community!
I'm Muthu - Head of Data Science at Redactable. I'm excited to share a bit about the technology and security behind our platform.
What many don't realize is that traditional redaction methods often leave behind invisible sensitive data in documents. When you place a black box over text in a PDF, the underlying text typically remains intact and can be extracted. Even worse, metadata containing sensitive information stays embedded in the file. This creates significant security vulnerabilities that most organizations aren't equipped to address.
At Redactable, we've built an AI-powered platform that doesn't just mask sensitive information—it completely eliminates it. Our advanced AI models identify personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI) and permanently remove both the visible content and the underlying data that conventional tools miss. Unlike many competing solutions that limit document size, Redactable can efficiently process extremely large files—even PDFs exceeding 1,000 pages—without compromising speed or accuracy.
Security is foundational to everything we build. We've developed Redactable following advanced security protocols, including a zero trust architecture via Cloudflare and strong encryption practices. We've adopted a shift-left approach, incorporating security considerations into every stage of design, development, and operations.
For organizations with strict compliance requirements, we tick all the boxes:
We're HIPAA compliant, ensuring sensitive health information is properly secured
All data is encrypted at rest using FIPS 140-2 validated crypto modules with AES 256 encryption
Data in transit is secured using TLS 1.2+
We're SOC 2 Type 2 compliant, which means our infrastructure, software, processes, and operations have undergone rigorous formal review
We run monthly vulnerability scans against all systems to ensure real-time security
All data is stored in US-based private clouds hosted by AWS with multi-zone redundancy
The technical challenge of proper redaction has been overlooked for too long. It's been rewarding to build a solution that finally addresses this gap, allowing legal teams, government agencies, healthcare providers, and financial institutions to confidently handle sensitive documents without compromising security or efficiency.
Happy to dive deeper into any technical aspects you're curious about!
Thanks John! 🌟
