Field notes
The interface accepts JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and PDF files, with controls for cleaning a batch, downloading results, and clearing the selection. For PDFs, it lists a lossless deep-clean mode and a rasterize-pages mode with 150-DPI and 300-DPI settings. The page says JavaScript rewrites files in the browser tab and that nothing is transmitted, stored, or logged.
