Temporary by design

Your file comes in. The result goes out. Both are then deleted.

The tools run on our server, not secretly in your browser. We keep the file only long enough to do the job and let you collect the result.

Straight answers

Before you upload.

Is TryDeputize actually free?
Yes. The live PDF, image and utility tools have no signup, no output watermark and no paywall after upload. Video transcription has a daily attempt cap because the speech model runs on our own server.
What happens to my file?
It is uploaded over HTTPS, used for the job you chose, and deleted from our server automatically about an hour later with the result. Files are never sold or used to train anything.
Do the tools run in my browser?
Most file tools run on our server. Each tool page states what happens before you upload, including its file and page limits.
Will my result have a watermark?
No. The file you download is not branded or watermarked by TryDeputize.
