Is it really free?

The Mac App Store app is free for one project, and a one-time purchase unlocks more. Compare the website and the apps
Are my scans uploaded anywhere?
No. Your browser reads the scan and builds the font, so your files stay on your device. The site counts a few actions, such as an export, without your files or any ID. Read the privacy policy
Can I use my phone or tablet?
Your phone takes the photo. You can also fill in the PNG template on a tablet with an Apple Pencil or S-Pen. The editor needs a screen at least 980 pixels wide, so open it on a laptop or tablet.
Which languages can I write in?
English, Polish, German, French, Spanish, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Russian, Ukrainian and Greek. A blank sheet takes any other characters you want to add.
What pen should I use?
A dark gel pen, felt-tip or marker, so the ink stands out from the paper. When you print the PDF, choose Fit to page. Template guide
