Limitations and privacy

Results depend on the input file, browser memory, and the supported features of the PDF or image format. Encrypted, damaged, unusually large, or complex files may fail. PDF Engine is designed for supported processing in your browser, but the page may load third-party JavaScript libraries. Keep the original file and check the output before sharing. For sensitive documents, follow your organization's data-handling rules.

Frequently asked question

A QR code stores the text or link you enter; it does not guarantee that a website is safe or will remain online. Check the destination before distributing the code.
