Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded?
Your files are processed on your device and are never uploaded to any server.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Open this page in Chrome, Safari or any modern browser on your phone. Large files may take longer on older phones.
Why do redacted pages become images?
A black box drawn on top of text can sometimes be removed. Saving the page as an image makes sure the hidden text is really gone.
