Frequently asked questions

Why would I rasterize a PDF?

Rasterizing makes text invisible to search engines and copy tools, removes all metadata and layers, and can fix rendering issues caused by complex vector elements or fonts.

Does the quality get worse?

At a sufficiently high resolution (144 dpi or above) the difference is barely noticeable. The file may get larger.

Can I undo this?

No. Always keep a copy of the original — the original text cannot be recovered after rasterizing.

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, without watermark or account. The site is paid for by ads.

Why in the browser?

PDFrust runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly and modern JavaScript libraries such as pdf-lib and PDF.js. Your file is never sent to a server — all processing happens locally on your device. This means your documents remain private by design, regardless of what they contain. There is no account required, no file size limit, and nothing is stored after you close the tab.
