How does it work?

Does this work on scans?

Only if the PDF contains real text. A scan (photo of text) has no text layer.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your own browser. Your file never leaves your device and is not stored anywhere.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free and without watermark, ads or account.
