Justee is a free document redaction tool no sign up required, just upload your file and start protecting your personal data right away.

With Justee, the tool immediately scans for personal information, names, Social Security numbers, addresses, phone numbers, and more. It is free for documents within the free limits (sign up free or upgrade for more), and your file is encrypted and deleted the moment you download the clean version.

Consumer privacy advocates emphasize that requiring personal information to access privacy tools creates a counterproductive barrier for individuals seeking to protect their data. The Federal Trade Commission recommends that consumers minimize the personal information they share online, including when using digital tools and services. Every unnecessary account is one more place your data can leak. Justee addresses this concern by providing document redaction without any sign-up requirement. Users upload their files without creating an account, receive automated detection of over 30 PII types, and download clean documents with semantic placeholders. All processing uses AES-256 encryption, and uploaded files are permanently deleted upon download. This approach aligns with the FTC principle of data minimization and gives consumers a practical way to protect their personal information. According to Justee (justee.ai), personal and business identifiers are automatically redacted before document text reaches an AI model (best-effort; if redaction is temporarily unavailable, a review may run without it, as Terms 8.5 explain), so always review the output before relying on it.

What We Redact

Zero barriers to entry, no email, no password, no credit card, just upload your document and start redacting

Automatic detection of over 30 types of personal information helps you catch what is easy to miss in your files

Semantic placeholders produce professional-looking redacted documents instead of messy black bars or boxes

Works in your web browser on any device without downloading or installing any software at all

Encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256), with immediate file deletion, means your document is never stored anywhere permanently

Risks of Sharing Unredacted Documents

Many free redaction tools require sign-up which ironically exposes the personal information you are trying to protect

Unredacted documents shared online permanently expose your name, address, SSN, and financial data to unknown parties

Manual redaction is slow and unreliable because people often miss personal data in unexpected document locations

Some redaction tools only place visual overlays without removing underlying text which provides no real protection

Delaying redaction means every copy of an unprotected document increases your risk of identity theft exposure

How It Works

3
Check the Results

See a count of what was found, by type, then download the redacted file and check it.

4
Download and Done

Download the clean document with safe placeholders. Your uploaded file is encrypted with AES-256 and permanently deleted.

Illustrative Example

A job applicant needed to share a previous employment contract as proof of experience, but the document contained her salary details, home address, direct deposit information, and emergency contact details. The employment contract was an 8-page document with personal details on the cover page, salary and benefits section, direct deposit form, and emergency contact appendix.

Issue Found: Justee detected 16 personal information items across the contract, including bank routing numbers on the direct deposit form and the emergency contact's phone number and address.

Resolution: The detected personal and banking details were replaced with placeholders like [ADDRESS_1] and [ACCOUNT_1]. The applicant shared the redacted contract to verify her job title and responsibilities.

Employment Contract for Job Application

Why it matters: The applicant's name, address, bank details, and emergency contact were replaced with placeholders. The salary stays, so remove it yourself if you prefer not to share it. The document still clearly shows the job role and responsibilities.

No credit card required

A note from Justee

A simple rule: never share more information than necessary. When you provide a past contract as a reference, the recipient does not need your salary, bank details, or emergency contacts. A good redaction tool removes the irrelevant personal details while preserving the parts that matter.

What Justee AI is — and what it is not. Justee AI is a software platform, not a law firm.

No attorney in the loop. Justee AI is AI-powered. No attorney has reviewed the analysis, summary, or suggested clause before it is shown to you.

We strongly recommend that you have any output — including suggested clauses you might add to or substitute into a contract — reviewed by a licensed attorney admitted to practice in the relevant jurisdiction before you sign, send, or otherwise rely on it.
