mypdf.space

Short answer

Drop a PDF into the scanner below to map personal-data patterns (emails, phones, cards, IDs). It reports findings without changing the file. Use Auto-redact or Redact next, then verify with the privacy checker.

    Open a PDF with selectable text.

  2. 2

    Run the scan.

  3. 3

Files never leave your device

Your PDF is processed in this browser tab. Files never leave your device, and mypdf.space does not receive uploads. No account, no watermark, no server-side copy.

Limits worth knowing

  • Pattern detection only — not a legal compliance guarantee.
  • Scanned pages need OCR before text patterns are found.
  • Does not remove data; it only reports.

Frequently asked questions

  • Is this a PDF privacy checker?
    It finds PII-like patterns in text. For hidden text under black boxes, metadata, and scripts, use the PDF privacy checker (leak check) as well.
  • Does the scanner upload my PDF?
    No. Scanning runs in your browser.
  • What should I do after a hit?
    Review matches, then Auto-redact PII or Redact, Deep Clean, and re-check.
