Good to know

Why is FaLe PDF free?

Because almost everything happens on your device – and that costs us nothing.

Processing on your device
Reading, signing, scanning, text recognition, converting and editing run right on your phone or computer. That needs no servers – so there is nothing to pay for.
Only the AI costs money
The optional cloud AI has a real cost per request. That’s why there is a free daily allowance.
No trading in data
No banner ads, no tracking, no analytics tools and no selling of data. You only see an ad if you start a video yourself.
