Keep only required pages
Confirm what the recipient actually needs before exposing a complete statement history.
Financial document privacy
Redact a bank statement before you share it.
A statement can reveal identity, account numbers, balances, employers, locations and spending patterns. First export or screenshot the required page as an image: MaskBeforeShare does not edit PDF files directly. Cover unnecessary fields, then review the new PNG.
Free. No signup. No image upload.
The image is processed in your browser. Review every mask, export fresh pixels, and share the cleaned copy instead of the original.
Black out private fields
Cover account identifiers, unrelated transactions, balances, addresses and customer references where permitted.
Flatten and verify
Export a new file and confirm that covered text cannot be selected, copied or revealed.
Before sharing
Do not remove information the recipient legitimately requires.
Redaction protects irrelevant data; it must not falsify a document or conceal facts required for the stated review.
- Ask the recipient which fields are mandatory.
- Use opaque blackout for financial identifiers.
- Retain the untouched original privately.
What should I redact from a bank statement?
Common candidates include full account numbers, unrelated transactions, balances, addresses and customer IDs, but preserve all information the recipient requires.
Is drawing over a PDF enough?
Not always. An annotation may leave underlying text extractable. Use a flattened export and verify the result.
Can I process statement images locally?
Yes. MaskBeforeShare processes supported images locally; its PDF page workflow also avoids uploading the document.
