How long we keep files

Instant apps

The file exists only in this browser tab. Close or reload the page and it is gone. We cannot recover it.

That covers most PDF and image tools: merge, split, rotate, watermark, page numbers, edit, sign, fill, PDF to JPG/Word/Excel, compress/convert/resize/crop/rotate/watermark images. Nothing is written to our disks for those flows.

Guest utilities never create a dashboard job either. There is nothing for us to retain because the input never left your device.

Cloud jobs

After the worker finishes, the original upload is removed. Outputs (transcript, video, PNG, and so on) stay on the dashboard until they expire — typically 30 days from creation. You can delete a job earlier from the workspace page.

Expired files are not recoverable. Download anything you need to keep. If email notify is on, the message is a reminder only; the file still lives on the dashboard until expiry or delete.

Transcription, most video tools, OCR PDF, PDF to PowerPoint, compress PDF, and image background removal all follow this cloud pattern.

Accounts

Your email and password stay until you ask us to delete the account. That request goes to the address on the Contact page.

Deleting the account does not keep expired job files. Ask for account deletion only after you have downloaded anything you still need.
