* Estimated number of pages is based on 2 credits per page. If job was created with async mode then it also requires to use job/check function to check final job status. Estimated costs (if any) include no sales, GST, VAT, sales and/or local taxes.
Estimated costs per page are calculated based on the selected subscription plan or credits.

Additional Optional Charges

Permanent object storage (templates, files):

  • HTML Templates - 1 credit per template per day;
  • Document Parser Templates - 1 credit per template per day;
  • PDF.co Files (stored files) - 2 credits per file per day;
  • Output Files - free but they are permanently auto-removed in 1 hour by default (can be extended up to 1,440 minutes (24 hours) on Business+ plans).

Note: Credits for permanent storage objects are charged via the account/charge/objects endpoint in the API Logs.

User-Controlled Data Encryption

You can add an extra layer of security to any of your calls by encrypting or decrypting input or output files with a strong AES-256 or another encryption or decryption algorithm. This will make your data unreadable without the password. See this article for details.

  • User-Controlled Data ENcryption - adds 2 credits per page processed;
  • User-Controlled Data DEcryption - adds 2 credits per page processed.
Sync mode (async: false): every call consumes credits = number of pages * credits per page (based on the table below).

Async mode (async: true): first call consumes credits for 1 page + credits for the remaining pages consumed along with job/check + credits for job check calls. Click here to show the detailed examples on credits calculations for both modes.
Check API logs for the details on API calls you've made.

Plugins (Make/Integromat, Zapier, SalesForce, AppScript and others) may consume few more credits during built-in background job checks. For long background jobs you may want to increase the delay for background job checks in plugin settings.

Async mode (async: true in API calls)

This mode is used in Zapier and other plugins (with additional auto calls to job/check). This is the recommended mode, especially for large files that require up to 15 minutes of processing.

Total credits for async job = credits for the very first page + small amount of credits for job/check + credits for the remaining pages (if 2 or more pages were processed).

Example:
  1. The input PDF has 10 pages;
  2. The first call to API consumes credits for 1 single page and returns jobid param. JobId is the unique id of async job created;
  3. Call /job/checkto check the status of this job;
  4. If /job/check returns status equal success then it also consumed credits for the remaining 9 pages + small amount of credits for this job/check call;
  5. If /job/check returned failed then this call will return credits consumed for 1 page on the very first step (you'll see negative credits in API logs);

Sync mode (async=false):

Should be used only for small files (under 100 kb) where it takes just a few seconds to process. Every request is limited to 27 seconds. If it takes more then you need to use async mode.

Total credits for sync job = credits for total processed pages

Example:
  1. The input PDF has 10 pages;
  2. The call to API endpoint is processing file right away and consumes credits required for 10 pages;
  3. If call failed then no credits will be consumed;
