What the widget measures

The panel counts what leaves your browser after you choose a file. The site's own scripts and fonts load like any web page — what you will never see is a request carrying your PDF. Check it here, or open your browser's Network tab and see for yourself.

The number is scoped to request bodies after you choose a document. App assets such as JavaScript, WASM, and fonts can still load; those are not your PDF bytes.

Verify it yourself
  1. Open DevTools, then the Network tab.
  2. Choose a PDF in the tool and complete the action.
  3. Filter for fetch or XHR requests; document processing should not create a request carrying your file.

Stronger check: load the tool page first, then disconnect from the network before choosing the file. Already-loaded tool code can continue processing locally, but a first visit still needs the site assets.

Expert note

Deleting pages is not content redaction

Deleting a whole page is useful when the entire page is unnecessary. It does not remove sensitive content from pages you keep. If a retained page contains private details, use secure redaction after deleting the unneeded pages.

FAQ

Questions people ask before using this tool

Can I recover a deleted page after export?

Keep the original PDF. The exported file is a new PDF without those pages.

Can I delete blank pages?

Yes. Use the page preview to find and remove blank or duplicate pages.

Does the page preview upload images of pages?

No. Page previews are rendered locally in the browser.
