Frequently asked questions
Why pixelize a PDF?
To share a document that can be read and printed, but whose text does not copy easily: each page becomes a picture.
Is my PDF sent to a server?
No. The pages are converted in your browser, on your device. No file is sent or stored.
Does search in the PDF still work?
No: the pages hold no text anymore, only pictures. Keep the original if you need to search it.
Will the file be heavier?
Often, for a PDF made mostly of text. The normal resolution (150 ppi) keeps the file light; the high one (300 ppi) prints sharper.
Is it real protection?
No. A picture can still be read by text recognition software. Pixelizing makes copying harder, without preventing it.
