Anonymize text locally in your browser

Paste text or upload a file. We remove personal data automatically, then reveal the result in place. Your text stays in your browser, on your machine, and is never sent to (or stored on) any server.

0 redacted

Redaction that stays on your device

The text is scanned in your browser. Your document is never uploaded. Smart detection downloads its model from Weeve's CDN.

Paste or upload

Drop in text, a .txt file, or a PDF with selectable text. Word import is the next step we are building.

Review the matches

Pick the categories to remove, then check every highlighted match before you copy or download the result.

Copy or download

Replace entries with labels, numbered placeholders, or black boxes, then copy the result, download it as text or Markdown, or print it as a PDF.

What the document anonymizer removes

Rules catch structured identifiers. An on-device model finds names, organizations, and places.

  • Names (experimental)People and parties
  • OrganizationsCompanies and institutions
  • PlacesCities and addresses
  • Email addressesAny address
  • Phone numbersDutch and international
  • Social security numberLabeled international IDs and Dutch BSN
  • IBANBank account numbers
  • PostcodesDutch postal codes
  • DatesNumeric dates
  • LinksWeb addresses

Built for legal and privacy work

Anywhere a document has to leave your hands with the personal data taken out.

  • Lawyers and paralegals sharing case files, judgments, or correspondence.
  • Healthcare and HR teams handling records and applicant details.
  • Researchers publishing transcripts or datasets that must be de-identified.
  • Anyone posting logs, tickets, or screenshots where names and IDs slip through.

What it does, and what to check

Automatic redaction is a first pass, not a guarantee. The honest limits are here.

  • Works on pasted text, .txt files, and PDFs with selectable text. Scanned PDFs and Word files are coming.
  • Smart detection can miss or over-match names, organizations, and places. Check every highlighted result.
  • Rules catch labeled social security numbers, IBAN, and other structured data well, but no automatic tool is perfect.
  • You confirm the result before sharing. The redacted document is yours to verify.
