Questions

What counts as an operation?
One successful call to an operation. A merge of forty files is still one operation. office-to-pdf costs 5 because it runs a full office suite. Failed calls cost nothing.
What happens when I reach my quota?
Calls return 402 with the code quota_exceeded until the quota resets on the 1st (UTC). You can upgrade at any time and the new quota applies at once.
How do agents send files?
Each tool takes a files list. An item is a public URL or base64 content with a filename. The result is a download link that is valid for 1 hour.
Do you keep my files?
No. Uploaded files are processed and deleted right away. Results made through MCP are kept for 1 hour so the agent can download them, then deleted.
paperpipe stores account data, API key hashes and a usage log of operation, size and time. The log has no file names or content. It is hosted in Germany (Hetzner) and run by Amaryx, a one-person studio in Espoo, Finland.
Which file types can I convert?
Images: JPG, PNG, WebP and TIFF. Documents: doc, docx, xls, xlsx, ppt, pptx, odt, ods, odp, rtf, csv and txt.
Can I use it without writing code?
Yes. Log in and use the Try it panel on your dashboard. It works with drag and drop and shows the curl command for what you just ran.
