Frequently Asked Questions

Can I process multiple files at once?

Yes. Our Merge, Compress, and Convert tools support batch processing directly in your browser. Simply select multiple files (Ctrl+Click or Cmd+Click) in the file picker.

Why is there a 50MB limit?

Browser memory constraints cap safe WebAssembly processing at ~50MB per file. Larger files risk crashing the tab. We're optimizing streaming algorithms to raise this to 200MB.

Do you add watermarks to free outputs?

Never. Free outputs are identical to paid outputs. No watermarks, no ads injected into PDFs, no quality reduction.

What if my browser crashes during editing?

Since processing is local, a crash only affects the current session. Your original file remains untouched on your hard drive. Simply reopen the tool and re-upload.
