How we compare
For every document the right redaction
Invoices, contracts, patient records, HR documents, government files – our specialized LLMs automatically detect all sensitive data. Zero-Shot, no training required.
What sets PaperOffice Redaction
apart from others
True Pixel Redaction
Other tools only place black boxes over text. PaperOffice permanently deletes pixel data – no copy & paste, no PDF reader can restore the original data.
LLM + Bounding Boxes
Our LLMs locate every PII element precisely in the document with pixel coordinates. Only this enables true redaction – no guessing, no regex.
10 Ready Scenarios
GDPR Art. 15, FOIA request, HIPAA, external sharing – one click and all relevant data types are redacted. No configuration needed.
White & Blacklist
Full control: Define exactly what should be redacted and what should remain visible. Custom rules for every use case.
Zero-Shot Detection
No training, no samples, no templates. Send any document – the AI immediately detects all sensitive data.
50+ PII Data Types
Names, addresses, IBAN, tax IDs, health data, license plates, social security numbers and 45+ more types – automatically detected.
Text Layer Cleanup
Not just image redaction: The text layer is also cleaned. The new PDF contains no extractable original data.
Legally Compliant & Auditable
Complete audit trail: Which PII was detected, where in the document, which scenario was applied. Perfect for compliance proof.
AI-OCR always included
Our complete AI-OCR pipeline runs automatically: Text recognition in 139 languages, handwriting, tables – at no extra cost.
More than just redaction
Our anonymization platform masters specialized recognition tasks

Overlay Redaction vs. Regex/Pattern-based vs. PaperOffice
Why true AI redaction with Bounding Boxes makes the difference
Overlay Redaction
Black boxes over text
- Visual only – text remains in PDF
- Copy & paste extracts data
- PDF readers show originals
- Not GDPR compliant
- No audit trail
Regex/Pattern-based
Pattern search for data formats
- Detects standard formats (IBAN, email)
- Fast processing
- No context understanding
- Misses unstructured PII
- High error rate on scans
PaperOffice AI Redaction
LLM + Bounding Boxes + Pixel Redaction
- AI-powered PII detection
- 50+ data types automatically
- Bounding Boxes for pixel accuracy
- Text AND image layer cleaned
- 10 ready scenarios
- White/Blacklist support
- 100% GDPR compliant

Why Bounding Boxes are essential for redaction
Fake Redaction (without Bounding Boxes)
Insecure- Visual only – text remains in PDF
- Copy & paste extracts the data
- PDF readers show original text
- Not legally compliant – GDPR violation
Real Redaction (PaperOffice)
PaperOffice- Bounding Boxes locate every PII value
- Pixel-perfect redaction directly in image
- Text layer is also cleaned
- 100% legally compliant – GDPR conformant

Terms that should ALWAYS be redacted – beyond automatic AI detection. Project codes, internal designations, confidential terms.
Custom AI Instructions
