Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded?

No. With this tool, your file never leaves your device. Even with Google Drive or Dropbox, it comes straight from your cloud to you, without passing through us.

What does Fast Web View mean?

A linearized PDF is built so that browsers can show the first page while the rest is still loading. You can check this in Acrobat under File → Properties: it should say “Fast Web View: Yes”.

Are there limits on file size or page count?

The main limit is your device, because that is where the work happens. Files up to 100 MB work reliably. With very large files, an older smartphone needs a little patience.

Is the tool free?

Yes. All tools on Gatefrog are free to use, with no sign-up, no installation and no watermark from us.
