The same document everywhere
Once flattened, the PDF looks and prints the same in every reader: no more emptied fields, vanished notes or layers hidden by default.
How it works
Three steps, nothing more.
Step 01
Drop the PDF you want to flatten.
Step 02
Choose what gets flattened — form, annotations, layers — and compare the page before and after.
Step 03
Download the flattened PDF: what you saw is now part of the page.
What sets it apart
Built for the result.
02
You choose what gets flattened
Form, annotations, each layer: flatten them together or one by one. And for a complete flatten, every page can become an image.
Accepted formats
Drop them as they are, no conversion needed first.

Nothing is kept, because nothing reaches us.

Another question? The contact address is at the bottom of the page.
It moves what was floating above the page into the page itself: form values, notes, highlights and stamps, layers. The result looks the same everywhere and can no longer be edited the way it could before.
