Frequently asked questions

Does it work for right-to-left books?

Yes. Tick "Right half first" so the right-hand page comes first, as in Arabic, Hebrew or manga.

Is the text still selectable afterwards?

Yes. The pages are cut without converting them to images, so text and quality are kept.

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.
