How it works
Each page is drawn as a picture in shades of grey. Text stays readable, but it can no longer be selected or searched.
Use Print quality for documents you will print.
Private
Your file is processed inside your browser with PDF.js (Apache-2.0) and pdf-lib. It is never uploaded, and nothing is saved after you close the page.
Questions
Are my files uploaded?
No. The tool runs inside your browser, so your files are opened and changed on your own device. They are never sent to us or to anyone else.
Can I still copy the text?
No. The pages become pictures. Keep the original if you need the text.
Is it free?
Yes. Free to use, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limits.
