Redact an invoice and keep the totals

Invoices are shared as examples, attached to expense claims or sent to auditors and AI tools. They carry customer names, addresses, tax IDs and bank details. Re-Doc replaces or removes those and leaves line items and totals intact, so the invoice still makes sense.

What Re-Doc changes

Orange boxes are what Re-Doc finds on its own. Text-based files keep their layout, and each real value is swapped for a realistic synthetic one.

Checklist

What to remove, and what to keep

Usually removed

  • Customer and contact names: replaced with realistic company names
  • Addresses, emails and phones: of both parties if needed
  • Tax and VAT IDs: kept in the right format
  • Bank details: IBAN, account and sort codes

Usually kept

  • Line items, quantities and prices
  • Totals and tax amounts
  • Invoice layout and numbering
Tip

Company names count as identifying data too. Business invoices often reveal who your customers are, so remove them before sharing examples.

Frequently asked questions

01Why redact an invoice?
To share it as an example, attach it to a public post or audit, or feed it to an AI tool without exposing customers and bank details.
02Do totals stay the same?
Yes. Amounts are not changed unless you ask for it.
03Can I process many invoices?
Yes. Use the app one file at a time, or the REST API on paid plans for batches.
04Does it work on scanned invoices?
Yes. Scans and photos are read with OCR and get black boxes.
