What this tool does
Can rebuild pages as compressed images when you choose raster output.
Before you export
Default page copying may not shrink the file. Raster output loses selectable text and may reduce quality or even increase size.
Frequently asked questions
Why is compression not enabled automatically?
Image-based output changes document properties. Choose it only after deciding that loss of text search is acceptable.
Are my files uploaded?
FileForge processes selected files on your device and has no file-upload API. Optional engines and models are downloaded from third parties; those requests expose connection information such as your IP address.
Will my work be saved automatically?
No. Files and editing results stay in this tab’s memory. Changing language preserves your work; reloading, closing the tab, or following a link to another page can clear it.
