Censor – PDF Document Redaction for the GNOME Desktop

Censor is a PDF document redaction tool. It permanently removes text and images in redacted areas and can draw rectangles over them. It uses the MuPDF library with its python bindings from the PyMuPDF module.

Installing

Get Censor on Flathub or from your distribution package maintainers.

Contributing

Use GNOME Builder to develop and build Censor. Localize Censor using Codeberg Translate. See the Censor Contributing Guide for information on translation, testing, commit messages, releases, etc. Please pay special attention to the rules for using artificial intelligence.

Donating

Support Censor indirectly by donating to Codeberg. Thanks to Codeberg for providing the git hosting platform with continuous integration and all the nice features of Forgejo and Weblate needed for the development of Censor. Further, I want to express my gratitude to GNOME and Flathub for providing resources needed for building and distributing test and release packages.
