Why this is real redaction
A PDF page is layers of text, images and drawings. A black rectangle added in a typical editor is just one more layer on top, and the text underneath can still be selected, searched and copied.
NoUpload renders each page to an image, paints your boxes into the pixels, and builds a new PDF from those images. The output has no text layer, metadata, comments or earlier versions, so there is nothing underneath to recover.
