How it works

Prepare the copy you give to AI, not the original.

Every core step runs on this device. Your document bytes never leave the browser, so you can hand AI a useful copy without handing over the sensitive original.

The workflow

Four steps, all on your device.

You decide what changes at every step. Nothing is uploaded while you review.

01

Select locally

Choose a PDF or DOCX from this device. It is never sent to AnonymizeDocs.

02

Detect and review

Accept, ignore or edit likely private details before a new copy is created.

03

Create an AI-ready copy

Use consistent placeholders so AI can follow the document's relationships.

04

Verify, then download

Recheck searchable output and show any limitation requiring your judgment.

Privacy boundaries

What stays local, what supports access.

Clear lines between your document, your account, and what still needs your review.

Stays on this device

Original and exported documents, extracted text, findings and mappings do not enter our servers.

Used only for access

Email, plan and credit status support purchases and recovery. Payment data is handled by Lemon Squeezy, our merchant of record.

Verified with limits

We recheck searchable output but do not claim every possible identifier has been found.

Two ways to replace what you hide

When you accept a detected detail, AnonymizeDocs can replace it in two modes — you choose per export:

  • AI-ready placeholder labels. Each value becomes a consistent token such as [PERSON_1] or [EMAIL_2]. The structure and relationships stay intact, so the AI can still follow who did what. This is the default for preparing documents to send to a model.
  • Permanent redaction. Values are blacked out for good. Use this when the copy is meant for a human reader and you want the original detail gone, not labelled.

22 identifier types detected

Detection covers the kinds of personal and organizational detail that commonly leak into documents sent to AI. Every hit is shown for your review — nothing is changed until you accept it.

· Person· Email· Phone· Address· Organization· Brand· Protected work· Registration number· Case number· SSN· Government ID· Credit card· IP address· Date of birth· Passport· Driver's license· Bank account· License plate· MAC address· Health insurance· Tax ID· IBAN

Verification before you download

After export, the new document is reopened locally and searched for any accepted original value. If one is found, the download is blocked and you are told what slipped through. When it passes, you can download a verification report that records the checks and the counts by type — with no document text or mapping values included.

Optional: zero-knowledge mapping vault

If you want the same replacements across devices, the mapping vault syncs end-to-end encrypted. The server stores only ciphertext; it never sees your filenames, original values, or the links between them.
