DocRedact.in is a free, open-source, browser-based tool. By using it you agree to the following.
1. Best-effort detection
The tool runs automated detection (OCR, Verhoeff validation, face detection, QR decoding, MRZ regex) and is correct on most Indian ID documents most of the time. It is not correct on every document under every condition. Small fonts, rotated text, heavy glare, unusual layouts, and handwritten annotations can cause the tool to miss a region that should have been masked, or to mask a region that should not have been.
2. You are responsible for the output
Review each detection in the toggle list before downloading. Open the downloaded PDF in your PDF reader and verify that the regions you intended to mask are actually masked. The final responsibility for the output PDF rests with you, the user.
3. Not a legal substitute
DocRedact.in does not substitute for UIDAI-issued masked Aadhaar where a specific regulation requires that particular form. Where a regulator, employer, or counterparty asks specifically for a UIDAI-issued masked Aadhaar, use UIDAI's portal.
4. No warranty
The tool is provided “as is” without any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. Use it at your own risk.
5. No liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the author of DocRedact.in is not liable for any direct, indirect, consequential, or incidental damages arising out of your use of the tool, including any loss resulting from disclosure of unmasked information in the output file.
6. Licence
The software is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later. Source code is available at github.com/shadabkhan/doc-redact-in.
7. Output notice
The output file is an image-only PDF. No searchable text layer is present; therefore the masked regions cannot be recovered via copy-paste or text-extraction tools. The output is typically 2–5× larger than the input as a result.
