About TACHADO — Redact your PDFs locally
What's redacted stays redacted.
TACHADO permanently censors the sensitive data in your PDFs — and your files never leave your computer. Unlike online PDF tools that upload your document to a server, everything is processed inside your browser. Zero uploads. Zero trace.
⚠️ THE PROBLEM WITH "FREE" TOOLS
Most just draw a black box ON TOP of the text… but the text is still underneath. Anyone can recover it with copy-paste. Contracts, payslips and reports have leaked exactly this way. TACHADO doesn't: it rasterizes the area and DELETES the content. What you redact is gone.
✅ WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Mark any data with a box and download the already-redacted PDF.
• The text under the black area is erased: it can't be copied, searched or recovered.
• Redact several PDFs in a row: drop them all and go one by one.
• Works with any PDF, nothing else to install, no sign-up.
⭐ SMART DETECTION (Pro — your first detection is free)
Finds and marks for you, in one click:
• Emails and phone numbers (US and international formats)
• IBAN bank accounts and bank cards (checksum + Luhn validation)
• US Social Security numbers, Spanish IDs (DNI/NIE/CIF) and more
• Or type any word or number and redact every single occurrence
You review what's proposed and decide what gets redacted. Official validation avoids false positives — it only marks real data, not just any number.
🔒 REAL PRIVACY
• 100% local processing. Your PDFs are never uploaded.
• We collect no data. No analytics, no tracking, no accounts.
• Even the fonts ship inside the extension: no external servers are called.
👩⚖️ BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO HANDLE SENSITIVE DATA
Law firms, HR, accountants, healthcare, public admin… anyone who needs to share a document without exposing personal data and stay GDPR-compliant.
💳 PRICE
The basics (mark and redact) are free, forever. Your first auto-detection is free too — after that it's a one-time purchase: buy once, yours forever, valid across all your browsers.
