Frequently Asked Questions

Does my PDF get uploaded?
No. Every page is drawn to an image and rebuilt into a new PDF entirely in your browser, on your own device. Your file is never sent to a server, never stored, and never seen by us. Safe for confidential construction drawings and NDA work.
What does rasterizing a PDF actually do?
It turns each page into a flat image, then assembles those images back into a new PDF. The result looks identical to the original but the text is no longer selectable or searchable, form fields stop working, and any editable layers are merged into the picture. It is a one-way way to lock a file so it renders the same everywhere.
Why would I want to flatten a PDF to images?
To lock down a final document so its content cannot be copied, edited, or reflowed, to make a fillable form non-editable before sending, to stop fonts or layers from shifting on other people's machines, or to strip hidden text. Note that this is not encryption, it just removes the live, editable parts of the page.
Is it free, with no watermark?
Free, no signup, no email, and no watermark on your file. A small thank-you tool from the team behind Ncored, the fast desktop PDF app for heavy AutoCAD, Revit, and ArchiCAD drawings.
