Smart Redact Demo: AI Redaction That Keeps You in Control
See how redaction gets faster. In this video, Nitro Senior Product Marketing Manager Fergal Cullen walks through Smart Redact, showing how AI surfaces sensitive data across more than 30 PII categories in any PDF, including scanned documents and image files. Watch the demo to see how your team can cut hours of manual work.
What is Smart Redact and why would I use it?
Smart Redact by Nitro is an AI-powered PDF redaction tool designed to help you find and remove sensitive information in minutes instead of hours. It’s built for teams that are currently relying on manual redaction, which is often slow, error-prone, and difficult to scale across large document sets.
With Smart Redact, you can:
- Automatically detect and redact 30 categories of personally identifiable information (PII), such as names, addresses, IDs, and more.
- Apply redaction to any PDF, including scanned documents and image-based files, using built-in OCR.
- Ensure that once a document is finalized, all visible and hidden data is permanently stripped and the file is encrypted.
This helps organizations reimagine how they handle data privacy and document security, while keeping control over what gets removed.
How does the AI redaction process work in practice?
Smart Redact is designed to keep you in control at every step of the process:
- Automatic detection: The AI scans your PDF and instantly surfaces sensitive data across 30 predefined PII categories. This works for both digital PDFs and scanned/image-based documents thanks to built-in OCR.
- Review and confirmation: Before anything is finalized, you get a clear view of all proposed redactions. You can review, confirm, or deselect individual items so that only the content you approve is removed.
- Manual redaction: For non-standard sensitive information—like salary figures, internal project names, or other business-specific terms—you can manually mark additional content for redaction.
- Finalize and download: Once you’re satisfied, you finalize the redactions. The resulting PDF is encrypted, and all redacted content—both visible and hidden—is permanently stripped from the file.
This workflow lets you combine AI-driven detection with human oversight, so you can move faster without giving up control.
Can Smart Redact handle custom terms and scanned documents?
Yes. Smart Redact is built to handle both custom sensitive content and scanned or image-based PDFs:
- Custom and non-standard data: Beyond the 30 AI-detected PII categories, you can manually redact items such as salary figures, internal project names, or any other business-specific information that isn’t part of a standard PII list.
- Search to Redact: If you know exactly what you’re looking for—like a specific client name or code name—you can use Search to Redact to find and remove those terms in seconds across the document.
- Scanned documents and images: Built-in OCR converts scanned pages and image files into searchable text, so the AI can detect PII and you can apply both automatic and manual redactions just as you would with a digital PDF.
This combination lets you reshape your redaction process across a wide range of document types and data patterns.
