FAQ

Is FileLume free?

Yes. Core FileLume tools remain useful for free. Optional Pro access adds an ad-free workspace and enabled server-processing outcomes.

Do I need an account?

No account is required for core tools. An account is required only for optional Pro access, usage, and billing management.

Where are files processed?

Each tool shows its processing mode before work begins. On-device tools process selected file content in the browser. Secure server tools explain the upload purpose and current handling policy before processing.

Are all files uploaded?

No. Browser tools do not upload selected file content to FileLume for processing. Only clearly labeled server tools upload a file for the requested operation.

Which formats are supported?

Supported formats depend on the selected tool. FileLume displays accepted formats and current limits beside the active input before processing.

What is included with Pro?

Current Pro benefits include an ad-free workspace, monthly server credits, enabled OCR and background-removal workflows, and an account view for subscription and usage state.

How should I handle sensitive files?

Keep an original copy, confirm the processing label, avoid uploading secrets unless the workflow requires it, and review every result before relying on it.

Are my files uploaded?

Every tool page states the processing mode before you run a task. On-device tools process the selected file entirely in your browser and do not upload it to FileLume. Secure server tools upload over HTTPS, use temporary working files, and delete them when the request finishes, including failed requests.

Which tools use a server?

OCR, Office to PDF Pro, Advanced PDF Compression, and AI Background Removal. The tool page names the purpose and current file limit before processing.

How do I manage or cancel Pro?

Sign in, open Account, and choose Manage or cancel subscription to open the Lemon Squeezy customer portal.
