Privacy

Files you choose are read into your browser’s memory and processed on your device; they are not uploaded to a server. Temporary download links are released after use, and the offline cache never stores your documents. More about privacy and limits.

Frequently asked questions

Can I style each slot differently?

No – one font, size and colour is used for all slots.

Will it overlap my content?
