Frequently asked questions

What does rasterizing a PDF do?

It renders each page as an image and creates a new PDF from those rendered pages.

Will the PDF still be searchable?

No. The visible text becomes part of a page image unless OCR is applied again later.

Does rasterization flatten forms?

Yes. Visible form appearances become page imagery and fields are no longer interactive.

Are my files uploaded?

No. The current rasterization workflow runs in your browser.

Does it change page size?

The output preserves the source page dimensions and orientation.

Can I rasterize a large PDF?

Yes, within the memory limits of your browser and device. High quality needs more memory.
