Frequently asked questions

Will text still be readable?

Yes — grayscale keeps full sharpness, just without color.

Is it free?

Yes — free, no signup, files stay on your device.

Can I select text afterwards?

Pages become images for print fidelity, so text isn't selectable — best for printing, not editing.
