How to use Privacy Pipeline

1. Load a PDF and choose a preset pipeline or build a custom sequence.
2. Review the step order: each step feeds its output to the next.
3. Click Run Pipeline to execute all steps sequentially.
4. Review the per-step report showing timing and size changes.
5. Download the final output after all steps complete.

Tips

• Use the Maximum Privacy preset for the strongest protection: paranoid scrub then flatten.
• Use Safe Sharing for everyday external sharing: scrub, EXIF strip, compress.
• Custom pipelines let you chain any combination of available operations.
• If quota is reached, wait for month reset or upgrade for unlimited usage.

What this does not protect

• Pipeline execution is sequential. Total time is the sum of all steps.
• Redaction step requires pre-marked redaction rectangles.
• Some step combinations may increase file size (e.g., flatten after compress).
• It does not replace legal, compliance, or incident-response workflows.
