Redact a .docx online — without uploading it
Drop in a Word file, review what’s detected, export a clean copy. The whole thing runs in your browser — it never touches a server.
Your file is never uploaded
Processed locally · no account · works offline
How it works
Three steps, all on your device
- 1 · Open the tool & select your .docx — the document opens in the browser; nothing is sent anywhere.
- 2 · Review the highlighted matches — tick what to remove, add anything the scan missed.
- 3 · Export the clean copy — the sensitive text is truly deleted from the file’s XML, then downloaded.
Why “online” here doesn’t mean “uploaded”
Most “online” redaction tools send your file to a server. CleanDoc doesn’t. The page loads once, then all processing happens locally in your browser — you can go offline and it still works.
Covers the parts people miss
Headers, footers, comments, footnotes, endnotes and document properties are all scanned — not just the body text.
