What it does
Use this for GDPR/KVKK compliance, stripping names out of contracts, or cleaning customer data out of reports before publishing. The key thing: this tool does not just paint a black box over the content, it **actually deletes it** from the file. You cannot recover it with copy-paste or OCR.

- 3If you want pattern matching, turn on Use Regex.
- 4Set the Colour and optional Overlay Text (e.g. [REDACTED]).
- 5Click Run.
