Frequently asked questions

Is my file uploaded?

No. Rendering and annotating happen entirely in your browser — your PDF never leaves your device.

Can I undo or erase?

Yes — use Undo to step back, or the Eraser tool to tap and remove any single annotation.

Will the annotations be permanent?

They're drawn onto a new copy of the PDF you download; your original file is untouched.
