Short answer
Drop your PDF into Auto-redact below. Review matches that look like Aadhaar (and other IDs), then apply permanent redaction on matched pages. Always re-check with the privacy checker. Processing never leaves your device.
Redact Aadhaar number from PDF
Free · private · files stay on your device
How it works
- 1
Drop the PDF into Auto-redact PII below.
- 2
Review detected ID-like patterns; add manual Redact boxes for any missed Aadhaar digits.
- 3
Apply redaction so matched pages are rebuilt (text destroyed, not just covered).
- 4
Run the privacy checker for hidden text and metadata.
- 5
Download only after a visual review of every page.
Who needs this
- India residents sharing KYC packs, applications, or scanned IDs
- Anyone who must share a document that still shows Aadhaar
- Teams preparing customer PDFs for support or audit
Files never leave your device
Detection and redaction run locally. mypdf.space never receives your Aadhaar PDF. Prefer masking or omitting Aadhaar when a form does not require the full number.
Limits worth knowing
- Pattern detection can miss unusual spacing or handwritten digits.
- Always verify every page — auto-redact is not a guarantee.
- Matched pages become images; OCR may be needed later for search.
Frequently asked questions
Can I redact only Aadhaar and keep the rest?
Yes. Use Auto-redact for detected IDs, then Manual Redact for any leftover digits or QR regions.Does this upload my Aadhaar PDF?
No. Everything runs in your browser.Should I also remove metadata?
Yes for shares — use Remove metadata or Deep Clean after redaction.What about PAN?
Use Redact PAN from PDF or the combined Aadhaar / PAN page for both.
