FAQ

Is it really free?

Yes. 5 pages/month free, no credit card. After that it's $19/mo flat for unlimited. I'll raise that once I have real traction.

Where does my file go?

Straight to the GPU box that runs this site. Files are kept on disk so you can reload the result, then deleted. I don't resell or train on your documents.

Is there an API?

Yes. POST /v1/parse with a bearer token. Email me for a token until I wire up the self-serve dashboard.

Can I self-host?

Not yet. If you need on-prem for compliance reasons, email me — I'll figure something out.

Why does this exist?

I needed to turn a bunch of Hindi scans into Markdown and Google Doc AI wanted $0.10/page. So I built this. Now you can use it too.
