Local DOCX redaction

Included in BiOVE File Mask for AI · Feature guide, not a separate product

Remove private text from Word files—without uploading them.

Open a DOCX, scan common sensitive patterns and your own terms, then export a newly sanitized copy. Processing stays on your computer and the original remains unchanged.

1. Choose a DOCX

The desktop app opens the file locally. No account, cloud editor or API key is required.

2. Review matches

Use built-in patterns and custom terms, then choose the replacement style before export.

3. Save a clean copy

LocalVeil writes a separate DOCX, clears document metadata and leaves the source file untouched.

Deliberate limits

Safer defaults for complex Office files.

Macro-enabled documents and files with embedded objects are blocked instead of being silently rewritten. Always review the exported copy before external sharing.
