Questions
How long are my files kept?
Guest uploads are deleted after 24 hours. For accounts the retention period depends on your plan, and you can delete a project instantly at any time.
Which formats are supported?
JPG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC, TIFF, BMP, GIF and PDF. The type is detected from the file contents, not the extension.
How accurate is it?
Accuracy depends on the source quality, language and typeface. We do not claim 100% — instead we show a confidence score and highlight the parts worth checking.
Are my files used to train models?
No. Files are never published and are not used for training without separate explicit consent.
