File processing

Where files are processed, supported limits, cancellation, retention and deletion.

Effective date: 2026-09-28

Processing location and uploading

Files are processed on your device by default. Choose server processing in a tool when you need it. Selecting a file alone does not upload it.

Pressing the server action button in a tool sends the files and settings. Originals are deleted when processing completes, fails or is cancelled. Results remain downloadable for 60 minutes after completion. Interrupted uploads are removed within one minute after 60 minutes without changes. Server processing has no preview, so download and check the result.

File and job limits

On this device · no upload

Choose up to 128MiB total and 500 images; the result PDF is limited to 128MiB. JPG pixel counts and combined image pixels are not limited. PNG input is limited to 64 megapixels each; output is automatically resized to at most 16 megapixels and an 8,192px long edge. Convert HEIC or WebP to JPG or PNG first. Processing stops after two minutes without progress. Use smaller groups if device memory is insufficient.

Other browser PDF editing tools accept 50MiB, up to 100 files and 200 pages, with 128MiB output and a two-minute processing limit. Browser PDF-to-image downloads use batches of 25 pages or about 64MiB. Server PDF-to-image conversion accepts 512MiB and 2000 selected pages. Processing speed and the ability to open large PDFs depend on the device and file.

Server processing · upload required

Total 512MiB · up to 1000 files · 2000 pages in total · output up to 512MiB

Up to 128MiB per image. JPG is not recompressed. PNG input supports 128 million pixels; output is resized to at most 32 million pixels and an 8,192px long edge.

Single-PDF tools accept one file. For merging and image conversion, use the up/down buttons to set file order. An empty page range means all pages. Server jobs have a ten-minute limit; recent server jobs provide downloads until expiry.

Cancel, refresh and retry

View the last five submitted server jobs in this tab. Return here after refreshing or visiting another tool to download before expiry. Recovery on another device or after closing the tab is not guaranteed.

Browser results and interrupted uploads cannot be restored after refresh. Server cancellation can take time.

To restore after refresh, only job IDs, private access information and timestamps are kept in this tab’s temporary storage. File contents and names are not saved. Hiding a job does not change server retention.

Retention, deletion and downloaded files

Temporary files and previews on your device are cleared when you change files or leave the page. Server originals are deleted when successful, failed or cancelled processing ends. Completed results are available for 60 minutes and deleted within one minute after that. Temporary files from interrupted uploads are deleted within one minute after 60 minutes without changes. If the server is stopped, deletion resumes after restart. Downloaded files remain on your device until you delete them.

Checking results and supported features

Previews are smaller images for checking pages and orientation; their quality may differ from the final result. Splitting and organizing preserve the original page sizes and orientation. Images to PDF results depend on paper and margin settings, and image quality may change. Password-protected PDFs, OCR, text editing and PDF compression are unsupported. Keep the originals and check results for documents with important signatures, forms or bookmarks.
