A few things to know
Will the grayscale output keep selectable text?
This tool renders selected pages into grayscale images in a PDF. The rendered pages do not retain their original selectable text or vector structure. Keep the original if you need those features.
Are files uploaded?
No. Processing and downloads are generated locally in your browser.
Does this support every PDF?
No. Encrypted files need unlocking first. Scans have no editable text without OCR. Complex fonts, tables, annotations and large documents can have limitations; the workspace explains the supported behavior.
