sourceback

Pay for the file. Not for the year.

Every paid tool is priced per job with a $1 minimum; the compressor is free. There is no account, no subscription, and no plan to cancel — and the preview that tells you whether a file is recoverable is free every time.

// billing questions
Is there a subscription option?

Not today. Every paid tool is pay-per-file with a $1 minimum, which suits the way most people arrive here — one lost file, once.

What counts as a page?

A page of the PDF you upload, or a slide of the .pptx. The preview shows the count it will charge on before you pay.

What if the result isn't usable?

The free preview exists so you can see that before paying rather than after. If a file has nothing to recover, the tool declines it rather than charging for a bad result.

Do you store my card?

No account is created, so there's nothing to store a card against.
