Formats and limitations
Removes document Info and referenced XMP metadata dictionaries. It does not remove page content, embedded image EXIF, hidden text, or every possible identifying detail.
PDF input and output only. Up to 500 pages total; two-minute processing limit; 100 MiB output limit. Complex documents may fail even within these limits. Review the result before sharing.
Privacy and troubleshooting
Files and outputs stay in browser memory. Processing libraries and fonts load from Reqly; documents are not uploaded. Reset releases file references and cancels work. Downloads remain on your device.
If processing fails, try fewer files or a smaller, unencrypted PDF. The original is unchanged. No server fallback is used.
How local processing worksDoes this make a document anonymous?
No. Visible and hidden page content or embedded images can still identify someone. Review those separately.
