    Questions

    Can I still select the text?

    No. Each page is saved as a grey picture. Keep your original for copying text.

    Will the file be smaller?

    Often, for colour scans. A file that is mostly typed text can get bigger. You're shown both sizes.

    Is my file uploaded anywhere?

    No. Everything happens in your browser. The file never leaves your device.
