Turn filled-in form fields into ordinary page content so the answers can no longer be edited.
A filled PDF form still holds editable fields, which means anyone who opens it can change your answers. Flattening locks the content in place, which is what most organisations expect when you send a completed form back.
Worth knowing: Flattening cannot be undone in the new file. Keep your original if you may need to edit the answers again.
Drag the completed form onto the upload area.
Every form field is converted into ordinary page content.
The tool shows which fields it flattened, so you can confirm nothing was missed.
Save the locked file. Keep your original if you may need to edit the answers again.
This matters more here than almost anywhere else. Sending a document to a server to have its author name stripped means handing that name to the server first. This tool works inside your browser, so the information you are clearing is never transmitted in the first place.

Not in the flattened file. Keep your original PDF if you may need to change the answers later.
Digital signatures work differently from form fields and are not part of what this tool flattens. A signed PDF should be left as it is, because changing it breaks the signature.
No. Everything happens inside your browser on your own device. Your file is never sent anywhere, and nothing is stored.
No. Your original PDF stays exactly as it is. The tool creates a new file for you to download.
