Most PDF tools force you to upload confidential files—contracts, tax filings, medical records, and photo IDs—to third-party clouds. PrivaMask solves this with a local-first redaction engine. Using built-in, on-device OCR, PrivaMask automatically identifies and permanently strips PII from digital PDFs as well as scanned image documents. Zero network calls, zero data retention, and zero risk of data exposure.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm the founder of PrivaMask, and I built it to solve a major irony in document security: to protect sensitive data, most tools make you upload it to the cloud first.
Every day, people upload passports, tax returns, contracts, and medical forms to web-based PDF editors just to hide an SSN, email, or bank detail. Even if the service promises not to keep logs, transmitting raw PII over the wire creates unnecessary exposure.
PrivaMask is built around a simple rule: zero bytes leave your device.
100% Offline Processing: Turn off your Wi-Fi—PrivaMask continues working without missing a beat.
On-Device OCR: Seamlessly extracts and redacts text from scanned image PDFs without hitting external cloud APIs.
True, Destructive Redaction: Completely strips underlying vector text, hidden metadata, and image layers—never just a cosmetic black box placed over text.
Automatic PII Detection: Quickly detects and highlights names, identification numbers, emails, and financial data for fast, single-click masking.
I’d love for the Product Hunt community to test it out at privamask.com.
What specific file types, edge cases, or compliance requirements would make this an everyday part of your workflow? I'll be in the comments all day to answer questions and take notes on your feedback!
