How it works

Is it really permanent?

Yes. Pages are turned into pictures, so the original text is not in the file any more.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. Everything happens inside your browser on your own device. Your files are never sent to us or anyone else.

Is it free?

Yes. It is free to use, with no signup, no watermark and no daily limit.
