FAQ
How many pages are free?
3 pages at a time on the free plan. Scribo Pro reads whole PDFs.
Password-protected PDFs?
Remove the password first (you need to know it). Scribo cannot open locked PDFs.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The AI model downloads to your browser once, then all the work happens on your computer or phone. You can check: once the model is loaded, the tool keeps working with your internet turned off.
