Questions
Which annotations can be flattened?
Those that carry their own picture (stamps, shapes, most highlights from desktop apps). Comments without a stored picture are left as they are, and the result says how many.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. This tool runs in your browser, so your files stay on your device and are never sent to a server.
Is it free?
Yes, you can use it for free. A subscription removes limits and unlocks premium tools.
