Terms of Service

Utilavo provides free, browser-based utilities for processing PDF documents, images, and developer data. No account or registration is required to use the Service.

Tools are divided into two processing models. Most tools (including PDF merge, split, rotate, and reorder; image-to-PDF and PDF-to-image conversion; and all developer tools) run entirely in your browser — your files never leave your device. Some tools (including image processing, document format conversions, PDF compression, and PDF/A conversion) require temporary server-side processing. Server-processed files are deleted immediately after the result is returned to your browser.

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes. You may not:

• Use the Service to process, distribute, or store content that is illegal, harmful, or infringes on third-party rights.
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service or its underlying infrastructure.
• Use automated systems to make excessive requests in a manner that could degrade service availability for other users.
• Misrepresent the origin of files or content you process through the Service.
• Upload files that contain malware, viruses, or other malicious code intended to compromise the Service or other users.
• Resell, sublicense, or commercially redistribute the Service or its output without permission.

We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access to the Service for any user who violates these terms.

To ensure fair access for all users, the Service enforces rate limits on server-based tools. If you exceed these limits, requests may be temporarily throttled or rejected. Rate limits are applied per IP address and reset automatically after a short period.

Individual file uploads are limited to a maximum of 50 MB. Files exceeding this limit will be rejected before processing begins.

These limits are designed to prevent abuse and maintain performance for all users. Normal, human-paced usage of the tools will not trigger rate limits under typical conditions.

All code, design, and content comprising the Utilavo platform is owned by Utilavo or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property law. The Utilavo name, logo, and visual identity may not be used without prior written permission.

You retain full ownership of any files you upload or process through the Service. We do not claim any rights over your content, and we do not access, retain, or use your files beyond what is strictly necessary to deliver the requested tool output.

Files you process through Utilavo are your property and remain private. See our Privacy Policy for a full description of how your files and data are handled, including the distinction between browser-local processing and server-side processing.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that you have the legal right to process files you upload. Do not upload files that contain sensitive personal data of others unless you have appropriate authorization to do so.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time without notice. We may add, change, or remove tools and features as we see fit.

We may also update these Terms of Service at any time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects when changes were last made. Continued use of the Service after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
