Tested browsers

The service is examined with the browsers on the Windows 10 and the Android 7.
Please use either Firefox, Chrome or Edge.
It works with Internet Explorer 11 too, however the layout may collapse.

It functions with Safari on iOS (iPhone, iPad). But you cannot deal many pages with Safari browser.
I recommend you to use Firefox on iOS because of the following reason, however it is not confirmed actually.

This service uses the blob function to output the data of PDF from the browsers besides Safari since it does not allow exporting data from the blob. Hence, in the case of Safari browser, this service creates the resulted PDF data locally and try to show it as a new page so that the user can save it instead. This process consumes large resources and has a technical upper limit about the size. Therefor you cannot deal large data with Safari.

This service executes all the process in your browser locally. The input files are not uploaded to the server when you click and use . These images are inserted into the DOM tree in your browser. Because of this, the availabe memory resource confines the number of the pages and the size of the images to be able to be handled. Please use a browser on a PC if you want to process large data.
