PDF Studio

What happens to your files

This is a self-hosted deployment. Every conversion runs on the server that served you this page. Nothing is forwarded to a third-party service, and no external API sees your documents.

How long files are kept

  • Your uploads are deleted as soon as the job finishes — successfully or not. They are never kept after the work is done.
  • The result stays available for 1 hour so you can download it, then a scheduled sweep removes it.
  • A failed job has its files removed immediately.

Passwords

A password you type into Protect PDF or Unlock PDF is used for that one job and is never written to disk or into a log. Nobody, including whoever runs this server, can recover a document once you have encrypted it and forgotten the password.

What is logged

Ordinary web server request logs, plus an error line when a job fails. Neither contains the contents of your files. Filenames may appear in an error message shown back to you.

Current limits

  • 100 MB per file
  • 250 MB per job
  • Up to 50 files in one job
