Frequently Asked Questions
How much printing does grayscale save?
B&W prints cost a fraction of color per page — a 50-page deck drops from color rates to mono rates, often halving the bill. Convert the print copy, keep a color master.
Do charts stay readable?
Mostly — but red/green distinctions collapse to similar grays. Check one chart page after converting; patterned fills survive better than color-only coding.
Does grayscale shrink files?
Yes, typically 20–40% — single-channel data compresses better. Archive the grayscale copy for email and keep color for presentation.
Do converted files leave the browser?
No — conversion runs locally in your browser. Only the final save touches the network — downloads are unlimited.
