Frequently asked questions

What if a single page is larger than the limit?

That page becomes its own file, because a page can’t be split further without changing its content.

Which size should I pick for email?

Many email services limit attachments to 20–25 MB; 10 MB is a safe choice for most.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. This tool runs entirely in your web browser, so your files never leave your device. That makes it safe for contracts, invoices and other private documents.
