Privacy and limits

Most PDF generation happens in your browser. For tools with the optional AI idea helper, only limited non-sensitive writing fields are sent to the server for suggestions.

The free version is limited to one-page PDFs and a small daily generation count in the same browser while usage is validated.

Frequently asked questions
