Why Prepare a Document to Send?
Every time you send a copy of a document, you lose control of it. It sits in inboxes, gets forwarded, and is kept long after the reason for sending it is over. Four habits make that copy much less useful to anyone who shouldn’t have it: remove the metadata you can’t see, black out what the recipient doesn’t need, stamp the copy with its purpose so it can’t be passed off for anything else, and keep it small enough that nobody asks you to upload it to some file-sharing site instead. This tool does all four in one pass, tells you exactly what it changed, and re-checks the finished file before you download it. It never sends your document anywhere — the alternative tools for this upload it to their servers first.
Prepare a Document to Send keeps the job narrow: clean, redact, watermark, and shrink a document before it leaves your hands. It is built for the small but frequent moments when opening a heavyweight editor, installing a package, or uploading sensitive work to a random service is more friction than the task deserves.
