What is a blind CV?

A blind CV is a candidate resume with personally identifying information stripped out — name, photo, email, phone number, and often the current employer. Recruitment agencies, executive search firms, and in-house talent teams use blind CVs to share candidates with clients without revealing identity, reduce unconscious bias in hiring, and protect candidates from being poached before a placement is agreed.

How to anonymize a resume (PDF) in seconds

1. Upload a PDF resume, or load one from a CryptoJobsList applicant link.
2. Select the Rectangle or Circle mask tool and drag over any PII — name, email, phone, address, profile photo.
3. Add your agency logo (the default is CryptoJobsList — upload your own to white-label the CV).
4. Click Download PNG. You get a single long image with all pages stitched together, ready to send.

Because the output is a flattened PNG, recipients cannot copy hidden text, extract metadata from the original PDF, or remove the masks. It’s the safest way to share a candidate profile.

Remove PII from a CV

Common personally identifying information (PII) to redact from a resume before sending to a client:

• Full name and profile photo
• Email address and phone number
• Physical address, city, postcode
• LinkedIn, GitHub, Twitter/X handles and personal URLs
• Current employer (optional — some agencies prefer to reveal this)
• Date of birth, nationality, gender, marital status

White-label candidate resumes with your agency logo

Recruitment agencies often want to rebrand a candidate CV with their own letterhead before sending to clients. This tool lets you upload your agency logo (PNG or SVG) and stamp it on the resume at any position — a simple way to white-label CVs without needing Photoshop or a designer.

Redact names, emails and photos from resumes

The rectangle and circle mask tools let you cover any sensitive area of the resume with a solid colour (black by default, but any colour works). Masks are rendered on top of the resume image and baked into the final PNG export — there is no way for the recipient to uncover the hidden text.

Blind hiring & bias reduction

Research consistently shows that anonymized resumes lead to more diverse shortlists. By removing signals like name, gender, age, and educational background at the CV-review stage, hiring teams evaluate candidates on their skills and experience alone. Many enterprise clients now require blind CVs as part of their diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies.

How do I anonymize a resume PDF?

Upload the PDF to this tool, select the Rectangle or Circle mask tool, and drag over any personal details you want to hide. Add your agency logo, then click Download PNG. Everything runs in your browser — the file is never uploaded to our servers.

Can I remove the candidate’s name, email, and photo?

Yes. Use the rectangle tool to cover text fields like name, email, phone, and address. Use the circle or rectangle tool to mask profile photos. The masks are permanently baked into the exported image — they cannot be removed by the recipient.

Can I add my agency or company logo?

Yes. The default logo is CryptoJobsList, but you can upload your own PNG/SVG logo. Click the Logo tool then click on the canvas to place it, and drag to reposition.

What format is the exported file?

A single high-resolution PNG image with all resume pages stitched vertically. This format is easy to share over email, Slack, or any chat tool, and prevents recipients from copying text or extracting hidden metadata from the original PDF.

Is the resume data private?

Yes. All PDF parsing, masking, and image generation happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. The resume file never leaves your device.

Why use a blind CV in hiring?

Blind hiring reduces unconscious bias based on name, gender, age, or background, and helps recruiters protect candidates from being poached before a placement is agreed. Many enterprise clients require blind CVs as part of their diversity and inclusion policies.
