Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Every operation runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly and JavaScript. Your files never leave your device and nothing is uploaded, stored, or seen by us.

Is the redaction permanent?

On export the page is flattened to an image so the covered content is not present in the output file.
