About This Tool
Detect sensitive information in PDF documents with our free online PII scanner. Find email addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers, credit card patterns, and other potentially sensitive data for review before sharing.
Our pattern detection scans document text for common PII formats including SSN patterns, phone numbers, email addresses, credit card numbers, and other sensitive data patterns. Results are highlighted for manual review and redaction decisions.
All sensitive data detection happens locally in your web browser. Your documents never upload to external servers, ensuring complete privacy for files being scanned for sensitive content. The most secure way to identify PII before document distribution.
Perfect for pre-redaction review, compliance audits, privacy assessments, or quality control before publishing. Note: Pattern matching provides best-effort detection—manual review is essential for complete coverage. Not a guarantee of complete detection. Works with text-based PDFs from Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Office, and other applications.
