Frequently asked questions

Are checked pages the ones that stay?

No. Checked pages are excluded from the copy. Review the excluded-page list and remaining count before saving.

Will the kept pages retain text and order?

The copy omits selected pages without rebuilding kept pages as images, retaining their original content and order.

Do I need to upload my file?

No. Your selected file is processed in your browser. No account is required, and the original file stays unchanged.
