Description

Before you share client notes, support tickets, or internal documents with colleagues or online tools, run them through this anonymizer. It finds personally identifiable information (PII) such as email addresses, phone numbers, and names, then replaces them with readable tokens like [EMAIL] and [NAME]. Paste text directly or upload a PDF, TXT, or DOCX file. You get scrubbed text ready to copy plus a report listing every item that was removed. Useful for support teams, developers cleaning sample data, researchers sharing interview excerpts, and freelancers redacting client details from case studies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of personal information are detected?

Email addresses, phone numbers, SSN-style patterns, credit-card-like number sequences, IP addresses, and person names.

Can I upload a PDF or Word document?

Yes. Switch to Upload file and attach a PDF, TXT, or DOCX up to 10 MB. Text is extracted from the file, then personal details are redacted.

Will every name always be caught?

Most common PII is detected automatically, but no tool is perfect. Review the entity report and scrubbed output before sharing highly sensitive data.

Do I need an account?

No signup is required. Complete the bot check, run the tool, and copy your anonymized text.

How are redacted values replaced?

Detected items are replaced with tokens like [EMAIL], [PHONE], and [NAME] so the sentence structure stays readable while identifiers are removed.

What is the file size limit?

Uploaded files can be up to 10 MB. For very large documents, paste the relevant section instead.

Tips for best results

Use text-based PDFs when possible. Scanned image PDFs may not extract well. Review the entity list for false positives, such as product names flagged as people. For critical data, combine automated scrubbing with a quick manual review.
