Cover sensitive text or images with solid rectangles. Choose a color, draw the area, and export a PDF where the cover is baked into the page.
Draw a solid rectangle over any area of the PDF. Drag from corner to corner to precisely cover the content you want gone.
Choose from white, black, gray, yellow, or custom color fills. Match the document background or create a visible annotation.
The covered area is flattened into the PDF on download. It is not saved as a separate comment or annotation layer.
Fine-tune the rectangle position and size after drawing. Handles let you resize from any edge or corner with precision.

Save and download the modified PDF. The covered areas are baked into the file instead of saved as removable comments.
