Frequently Asked Questions

What does this do that separate tools don't?

It runs the steps in the order that matters: redaction first, then flattening and the watermark, then a full clean-up that rewrites the file, a fresh inspection, and encryption last. Done in another order, a later step can bring metadata back or make the file impossible to check.

Is my document uploaded?

No. Every step runs in your browser; the file never leaves your device.

What is the difference between Simple and Advanced?

Simple applies the recommended choices and asks only what matters: what to redact, the watermark and a password. Advanced lets you pick each finding, see the values, set the watermark color and opacity, and choose printing and copying permissions.

Does the watermark stop copying?

No. A watermark marks who the copy was for and that it is confidential; it does not prevent copying. A password stops people without it from opening the file, and the copy and print permissions are respected by most viewers but not enforced by all.

Can I trust the result completely?

The result is checked again and every check is listed, but no tool can promise that a document holds nothing sensitive. Text in images (scans) is not read, and the redaction finds only what you asked for. The limits are written next to the tool.
