Questions

Is it really free, with no sign-up?

Yes, completely. There's no sign-up, no login and no daily limit: just open the page and start. It works in your browser on any computer, phone or tablet with nothing to install, and your files are never uploaded — everything happens on your device.

Can a forgotten password be recovered?

No — that’s what makes it secure. Keep the password somewhere safe.

Are my PDFs uploaded?

No. They’re processed in your browser, on your device, and never sent anywhere.
