FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the white background removal work?
The tool scans every pixel in the rendered PDF page. If a pixel's red, green, and blue values are all above the threshold (default 250), it becomes fully transparent. This removes white backgrounds while keeping all colored content intact.
What should I set the threshold to?
Start with the default (250). If some light areas aren't being removed, lower the threshold toward 230-240. Be careful going below 220 — it may start removing light-colored content.
Why do I see a checkerboard pattern?
The checkerboard is a standard way to visualize transparency. It's not part of your image — it just shows which areas are transparent. Your downloaded PNG will have actual transparency.
Is my PDF data safe?
Yes. All conversion happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Your files are never uploaded to any server.
