# Redaction Tools

> A catalog of 7 redaction tools for PDF, image, video and audio. Every
> price carries its unit, its currency and the date we last checked it.

Prices are marked with how we obtained them: read automatically from the vendor’s published pricing page, entered by our editors, or supplied by the vendor and not independently verified. A trial is never presented as a free tier — "free for 14 days" and "free forever" are stored and rendered as different things. Last generated 2026-09-23.

- [Glossary](https://redaction-tools.com/docs/buying/glossary): The eight dimensions this catalog files tools under — media, deployment, method, pricing model, compliance, platform, capability and audience — and the terms inside each.
- [For buyers](https://redaction-tools.com/docs/buying): How to read this catalog — what a listing claims, why published prices rarely compare, and the vocabulary the filters use.
- [The price calculator](https://redaction-tools.com/docs/buying/price-calculator): How the calculator costs each plan against your own volume, what it does when a plan cannot be costed, and the arithmetic it deliberately refuses to do.
- [Pricing units](https://redaction-tools.com/docs/buying/pricing-units): Why two published redaction prices usually cannot be compared as printed, what each unit actually charges for, and how we keep the difference visible.
- [Reading a listing](https://redaction-tools.com/docs/buying/reading-a-listing): What each field on a tool's page means, what it claims, and the places where an absent value is a fact rather than a gap.

- [MCP server](https://redaction-tools.com/docs/developers/mcp-server): How our editors read and write the catalog from an AI client — the tool surface, the authentication, and the design rules that keep a model from corrupting the data.
- [REST API](https://redaction-tools.com/docs/developers/rest-api): The public catalog endpoints — listing and filtering tools, reading one, and the facet taxonomy — plus how the owner routes authenticate.
- [Claiming a listing](https://redaction-tools.com/docs/vendors/claiming-a-listing): How a vendor proves they represent a tool, what the verification code does and does not do, and what a claim unlocks.
- [Correcting a price](https://redaction-tools.com/docs/vendors/correcting-a-price): The only route from a vendor to a published price — how a proposal is reviewed, how it is labelled once live, and why it can never be overwritten by automation.
- [For vendors](https://redaction-tools.com/docs/vendors): How to get a tool listed, claim it, correct its pricing, and what a verified owner can and cannot change.
- [Logos and screenshots](https://redaction-tools.com/docs/vendors/logos-and-screenshots): What we need for a tool's imagery, what happens to an upload, and why a screenshot is not live the moment you add it.
- [Submitting a tool](https://redaction-tools.com/docs/vendors/submitting-a-tool): How to tell us about a redaction tool we are missing, what an editor does with it, and why a submission is never a live page.
- [What you can change](https://redaction-tools.com/docs/vendors/what-you-can-change): The exact fields a verified owner may edit, the ones they may not, and why the line falls where it does.
