Process Hundreds of Documents in a Single Session
When you have a stack of contracts, medical records, or legal filings to redact, processing them one at a time is not an option. Our batch redaction engine lets you upload entire folders, apply consistent AI-powered redaction rules across every file, and download all results — turning days of manual work into minutes.
Capabilities
Built for High-Volume Redaction
Every feature is designed for teams and professionals who need to redact documents at scale without sacrificing quality or consistency.
Multi-File Upload
Select multiple PDFs at once or drag and drop an entire folder. The upload interface handles dozens of files simultaneously, with each file validated for format, size, and page count before entering the processing queue. No need to upload and process files one at a time.
Smart Queue Management
Every uploaded file enters a managed processing queue with automatic prioritization. See each file's status at a glance — queued, processing, completed, or failed. Files are processed in parallel where possible, and failed files are automatically retried before being flagged for your review.
Real-Time Progress Tracking
Monitor the status of your entire batch with a live progress dashboard. Track overall completion percentage, current file being processed, estimated time remaining, and per-file page counts. Never wonder how far along a large batch has progressed.
Consistent Redaction Rules
Apply the same AI detection settings across every file in your batch. Whether you need to redact all names and SSNs from 200 HR documents or remove financial data from 500 contracts, the rules are applied uniformly — eliminating the inconsistencies that plague manual review.
Bulk Download
Once processing completes, download all redacted files at once as a compressed ZIP archive. Files retain their original names with a '-redacted' suffix for easy identification. No need to click through and download each file individually.
Error Handling & Recovery
If a file fails to process due to corruption, unsupported encoding, or other issues, the batch continues without interruption. Failed files are logged with detailed error messages, and you can retry individual failures or re-upload corrected versions without restarting the entire batch.

How Batch Redaction Works
Upload Multiple Files
Select all the PDFs you need to redact — up to 500 files in a single batch. Drag and drop from your file explorer or use the multi-select file picker. Each file is validated instantly for format compatibility and uploaded in parallel for maximum speed.
Configure Redaction Rules
Choose which types of sensitive data to detect and redact: names, addresses, SSNs, financial data, medical terms, or all PII categories. Your chosen rules apply consistently to every file in the batch, ensuring uniform treatment across your entire document set.
AI Processes All Documents
The AI engine processes each file through the same detection and redaction pipeline. Watch real-time progress as files move from queued to processing to completed. The system handles parallel processing automatically, completing large batches in a fraction of the time manual review would require.
Download All Redacted Files
When the batch is complete, download everything as a single ZIP archive or grab individual files. Review the processing summary to see total pages processed, items redacted, and any files that need attention. Your originals are never modified — only the redacted copies are generated.
