FAQ
Eight questions we hear most.
Is it really free?
Yes — 5 ops per day, single file up to 10 MB, no signup needed for one-off jobs. OCR and batches are paid because Tesseract uses real CPU.
How is your OCR different from Smallpdf or iLovePDF?
We bundle Tesseract language data for Russian (rus) and Kazakh (kaz). Most western PDF tools default to English-only OCR; the result is scrambled output for Cyrillic. Try the same scan in both products.
Where are my files stored?
On Cloudflare R2, encrypted at rest, with a 60-minute TTL. They are deleted automatically — no manual purge needed.
Can I pay in KZT?
Yes — Plexy with Kaspi/Halyk cards. ESF for business clients via separate invoicing.
Is there an API?
Yes — Team plan unlocks 1000 calls/day. OpenAPI schema at /api/docs/.
Do you train AI on my files?
Never. Files are deleted in 60 minutes and never touched by any model training pipeline.
Why does the free tier add a watermark?
Only on compress and convert outputs — never on merge or split. It funds the OCR servers. $5/mo removes it.
How big a file can I upload?
Free — 10 MB. Lite — 50 MB. Pro — 200 MB. Team — 500 MB.
