.pdf · Works best on text-based or scanned PDFs

Runs 100% in your browser. Your PDF never leaves your device.
How it works: Each page is re-rendered as a grayscale image and reassembled into a new PDF. Text will no longer be selectable — this is the same trade-off as most online PDF-to-image converters. Perfect for printing, saving ink, or archiving scans.
