Questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The file is read by your browser and processed in the page. It never reaches a server, so there is no upload to wait for, no queue, and no copy of your document sitting somewhere with a retention policy.

Can I reverse the whole document at once?

There is no single reverse action, so a fully reversed scan means dragging pages individually. For a long document it is often quicker to rescan.

Does reordering re-encode the pages?

No. The same page objects are written out in a different sequence, so quality and file size are unchanged.

Can I delete pages while reordering?

Not in this tool. Run Remove Pages first, then reorder what is left.
