Flatten PDF form fields and annotations into fixed, non-editable content. Perfect for archiving completed forms.
Flatten PDF form fields and annotations into permanent, non-editable content — no upload, no watermark, completely free. Filled-in values become fixed text that can't be changed. Perfect for archiving completed forms, submitting official documents, or preventing modifications. Everything runs in your browser using pdf-lib — your files never leave your device.

No. Everything runs in your browser using pdf-lib. Your file never leaves your device — completely private.
