Frequently Asked Questions
Does converting to pure black and white reduce file size?
Yes. 1-bit monochrome encoding compresses drastically with CCITT Group 4 compression, typically reducing file weight by 70% to 90%.
Are confidential legal archives or records uploaded to cloud servers?
No. Adaptive binarization executes 100% locally in browser memory via WebAssembly. Your archival files remain strictly on your machine.
Will faint signatures and fine pencil writing be preserved?
Yes. Our adaptive local thresholding analyzes nearby pixel variance to preserve fine strokes while washing out gray paper shadows.
