Questions

Is the result certified PDF/A compliant?
No. It adds the identifying metadata; strict validators may still flag other issues in the source file.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The whole job runs inside your browser tab, so the document never leaves your device. You can even disconnect from the internet once the page has loaded.
