Limits & privacy
Processed on the server without retaining uploads or results. Up to 10 MiB of file input and 200 pages. Encrypted and damaged PDFs are unsupported. Output is limited to 5 MiB. Page copying preserves page content, but document-level bookmarks, forms, signatures and attachments are not transferred. This is not a PDF sanitization tool. Extracts up to 256 KiB of existing text. Scanned images require OCR and may return no text. Reading order follows the PDF content and may differ from its visual layout.
Use this tool from the API reference or connect through the SDK, CLI, SSH, or MCP. Hosted calls share your plan allowances.
