Questions about scanned PDFs

Does this change my original?

No. Your original stays available and the scanned copy is saved as a separate document.

Is conversion free?

Browser effects use no AI credits. Free exports include a Fylune watermark; paid clean-download options remain available. AI costs 10 credits per page.

Can I edit the scanned text?

The result contains images, not editable text or form fields. Keep the original for future edits. This does not preserve digital certificate signatures.
