Redact a bank statement before you share it
Landlords, lenders and forms often ask for a bank statement, but rarely need every detail. Before you send one, black out the parts you don’t want to share — account number, sort code, balance, individual transactions — so the copy you hand over exposes only what’s necessary. It all happens on your device.
What to redact on a statement
Common things to remove: the full account number and sort code, the running balance, and transaction lines unrelated to what you’re proving. Leave visible only what the recipient genuinely needs, such as your name, the bank, and the statement period.
Removed for good, not hidden
Redenta flattens each page to an image with the black areas painted over the real pixels and rebuilds the PDF with no recoverable text layer — so the numbers you hide can’t be copied out or pulled from the file later.
Nothing is uploaded
A bank statement is about as sensitive as a document gets, so it never leaves your browser. There’s no server to trust, because your file is processed entirely on your device.
FAQ
Is it safe to redact a bank statement online?
With this tool, yes — because it isn’t really "online" in the usual sense. The redaction runs in your browser and your statement is never uploaded anywhere.
Can the bank see, or anyone recover, the hidden numbers?
No. The output is a flattened image-based PDF with the hidden content destroyed at the pixel level and no text layer to extract.
Does it work on a photo or scan of a statement?
Yes — you can redact an image (photo/scan) as well as a PDF. Draw a box over anything you want removed.
