How it works

Choose your file, review detected sharing risks, remove only items marked safe to remove, then verify the resulting copy before download.

Why check before sending?

Office and PDF files can retain information beyond what appears on screen. CheckBefore helps identify common risks without making absolute security guarantees.

FAQ

Is the file uploaded?

Standard scanning is performed locally in your browser whenever possible.

Does CheckBefore guarantee a file is safe?

No. A verification result means no removable risks were detected by the checks performed.
