THE 2 BIGGEST PDF RISKS SOLVED ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1. Solves the "Fake Redaction" Vector Trap (True 300 DPI Flattening) Most basic PDF editors only place a black vector rectangle over sensitive text, leaving the underlying names, SSNs, IBANs, and salaries 100% selectable, searchable, and copy-pasteable by anyone who receives the file. SanitizePDF eliminates this risk permanently: it renders each page onto an HTML5 canvas, burns opaque black redactions directly into the bitmap pixels, and reassembles a brand-new, flattened 300 DPI PDF. The underlying vector text stream and edit history are physically destroyed. 2. 100% Client-Side Privacy (Zero Cloud Uploads) Online "Free PDF Redactor" websites require you to upload confidential client, employee, or personal documents to third-party servers, creating an immediate GDPR / AVG / CCPA compliance risk. SanitizePDF processes everything locally on your machine with zero server uploads. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚀 KEY FEATURES & CAPABILITIES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔍 Automated Multi-Region PII & GDPR Detection Automatically scan and redact sensitive personal data across 9 regions (EU (GDPR), Netherlands, United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and Belgium) using mathematical checksum validators to prevent false positives: • Financial & Banking: IBAN bank accounts (ISO 13616 Modulo-97 verified), Credit & Debit Cards (Luhn verified), BIC / SWIFT codes, and Salary / Compensation figures. • National IDs & Tax Numbers: Dutch BSN (11-proef verified), US SSN & ITIN, Employer EIN, UK National Insurance (NINO), German Steuer-ID, French NIR, Spanish DNI/NIE, Belgian NISS, and EU VAT numbers. • Contact & Personal Details: Full names, email addresses, international phone numbers, street addresses, postal/ZIP codes, dates of birth, and passport numbers. ✏️ Interactive Manual Redaction & Live 300 DPI Preview • Click and drag anywhere on the PDF preview to draw custom blackout boxes over signatures, photos, paragraphs, or tables. • Click any auto-detected or manual box to remove it instantly before exporting. • Smooth multi-page navigation and zoom controls (50% to 300%). 🧹 Deep PDF Metadata & XMP Stream Scrubbing • Automatically inspects and alerts you when hidden document properties are exposed. • Strips Author, Creator, Producer, Title, Subject, Keywords, Creation/Modification timestamps, and hidden XMP metadata streams with a single toggle. 🏢 Recruiter "Blind CV" & Agency Branding Suite Built for staffing agencies and executive recruiters who need to anonymize candidate resumes in seconds: • Automatically redacts candidate names, emails, phone numbers, and LinkedIn / GitHub / portfolio URLs. • Stamps your custom Agency Logo (PNG/JPG), Page 1 Banner Text (e.g., "Confidential Candidate Profile"), and Diagonal Watermark across the sanitized PDF. ✉️ Gmail & Outlook Web Attachment Guard (Pro) Never accidentally email an unredacted PDF again: • Automatically detects when you attach, drag-and-drop, or paste a PDF inside Gmail or Outlook Web. • Displays a non-intrusive floating alert showing any detected PII or exposed metadata without stealing keyboard focus from your email draft. • Open the in-page preview modal, review or draw redactions, and click "Apply & Replace PDF in Email Draft" to swap the unredacted attachment for a clean 300 DPI PDF in one click. 📚 High-Speed Batch Queue Processing (Pro) • Drag and drop 20+ PDFs at once to auto-redact, stamp agency branding, strip metadata, and flatten entire folders sequentially in local browser memory. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎁 FREE TIER vs. PRO SUBSCRIPTION ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SanitizePDF offers a generous Hybrid Free Tier with no account or sign-up required: • Forever Free Manual Redaction: Single-page manual drag-box redaction (300 DPI flattening) and full PDF metadata scrubbing are 100% free and unlimited forever. • 3 Initial Auto-Scan Credits: Every new install includes 3 free full-document automated scans (including multi-page PDFs, all country/PII auto-regex detectors, and Blind CV branding). • Recurring Weekly Allowance: Once your initial 3 credits are used, you automatically receive 1 free full-feature automated document scan every 7 days.
