Frequently Asked Questions
Is my file uploaded to a server?▾
No. All processing happens in your browser using the FileReader API. Your file never leaves your device.
What is the maximum file size?▾
Browser memory is the only limit. For best performance, keep files under 10 MB. Larger files may cause slowdowns.
