All form fields — text boxes, checkboxes, radio buttons, dropdowns — are converted to static page content.
Visual Preservation
The appearance of filled-in fields is preserved exactly. The document looks the same, but fields can no longer be edited.
Private Processing
Everything runs in your browser. Sensitive forms and documents stay safely on your device.
Flatten PDF form fields and annotations directly in your browser. This tool converts all interactive elements — text boxes, checkboxes, dropdowns, and annotations — into static page content that cannot be edited. The visual appearance of filled-in data is preserved, but the form is locked down. Ideal for finalizing submissions, archiving completed forms, or ensuring consistent display. All processing happens on your device for complete privacy.
