Frequently Asked Questions
- Are all PDF tools completely free?
- Yes. Every PDF tool on FileCrank is free to use with no subscription and no hidden fees. Files are automatically deleted within 1 hour of processing.
- Do I need to create an account?
- No account required. Upload your file, process it, and download the result β all without signing up.
- What is the maximum PDF file size?
- FileCrank supports PDF files up to 100 MB for most tools. If your file is larger, use the PDF Compressor first to reduce its size before running other operations.
- Is my PDF kept private?
- Your files are uploaded over a secure HTTPS connection, processed on our servers, and automatically deleted within 1 hour. We never read, share, or retain your documents.
- Which browsers are supported?
- FileCrank works in all modern browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. No plugins or extensions needed.
- Can I make a scanned PDF searchable?
- Yes. The OCR PDF tool uses optical character recognition to detect text in scanned images and embed it into the PDF so you can search, copy, and highlight it. It supports PDFs with embedded image scans.
- How do I protect a PDF with a password?
- Use the Protect PDF tool. Upload your file, set an open password and optionally restrict editing or printing, then download the encrypted PDF. To remove an existing password, use the Unlock PDF tool.
- What is PDF/A and why would I use it?
- PDF/A is an ISO-standardised version of PDF designed for long-term archival. It embeds all fonts and colour profiles so the document renders identically on any device years from now. Use it for legal documents, government submissions, and contracts that must remain readable indefinitely.
