Frequently Asked Questions About Secure Legal Document Conversion

Is it safe to use this tool for my private study notes or research data?
Absolutely. Your files are processed entirely on your own device using AES-256 encryption during compression. Nothing gets uploaded to our servers, so your data stays private.
Will my thesis formatting – like citations, footnotes, and page numbers – stay intact after compression?
Yes. Our algorithm is designed to preserve the exact layout of academic documents, including bibliography formatting, tables, and embedded images. You won't lose a single margin or header.
Do I need to create an account or pay anything to use this?
No account, no credit card, no hidden fees. The basic compression service is 100% free for students. Just upload your PDF, download the compressed version, and you're done.
How long do my files stay on your servers after compression?
They don't. Because everything runs locally in your browser, your files never reach our servers. Once you close the tab, no trace remains.
