Terms of use

Who offers the service

FileOrca (fileorca.com) is made and run by one person: Victor Yuki Matusita, a developer in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. He is an individual, not a company.

How FileOrca handles personal data is explained on the Privacy page.

What FileOrca is

FileOrca is a website with free tools that run in your browser. It is built for images, PDFs and calculators. Today the site has image tools (compress, resize, crop, rotate, convert and turn images into a PDF), PDF tools (merge, split, compress, rotate, number, sign, protect and more) and money calculators for loans, mortgages, debt and savings. They are in English, and the image compressor is also in Portuguese and Spanish.

You do not need an account. Your files are processed on your device, not on a server, and they are never uploaded.

Your files and your responsibility

The files you use with FileOrca stay yours. FileOrca never receives them, and it claims no rights over them.

You are responsible for the files you choose to process and for what you do with the results.

• Make sure you have the right to process each file.
• Keep your originals. Check the result before you delete or replace anything.
• FileOrca cannot recover a file that is lost, deleted or damaged, because it never receives your files.

PDF tools: passwords and signatures

Three PDF tools come with their own terms. They add to everything else on this page.

• Protect PDF locks a PDF with the password you choose. The password is yours: FileOrca never receives it and cannot recover it, so a lost password means a PDF that nobody can open. Keep a copy of the original, without the password.
• Unlock PDF is for files you have the right to open and to change. It never guesses or breaks a password: when a PDF needs a password to open, the tool asks you for it.
• Sign PDF puts an image of your signature, drawn, uploaded or typed, on the pages you choose. It is a picture on the page, not a digital signature with a certificate, and it may not count as a qualified or legally recognized signature where you live. FileOrca gives no legal advice. If a document needs a certified signature, use a service that offers one.

Results with no guarantee

FileOrca is provided "as is" and "as available", free of charge. Results vary by file and by browser, and a tool can work differently on your device than on another device.

There is no guarantee that a tool will work with every file, that a result will fit what you need, or that the site will always be available and free of errors.

Check each result before you use it.

Calculators are educational, not advice

The calculators are for learning and information only. They are not financial, legal or medical advice, they are not an offer of credit, and they do not replace a qualified professional. A lender, not a calculator, decides what you can borrow and at what rate.

The results are estimates based on the numbers you type. Real life can differ, so check with a qualified professional before you make a decision about money, legal matters or health.

Acceptable use

Please use FileOrca in good faith and follow these rules.

Search engines and other robots may read and index the site, as long as they do not overload it.

• Do not try to break, attack or overload the site.
• Do not try to get around the protections of the site.
• Do not use FileOrca for anything illegal.
• Do not use FileOrca to process files you have no right to process.

Ads and donations

To stay free, FileOrca shows, or will show, ads from Google AdSense. Google is the advertising partner. The Privacy page explains how ads and cookies work.

The ads, and the sites they lead to, come from third parties. FileOrca does not control their content and is not responsible for it.

Donations are optional. FileOrca has a link to Ko-fi, where you can leave one. The payment happens on Ko-fi, under its own policies.

A donation is voluntary. It buys nothing and changes nothing on the site.

Intellectual property

The FileOrca name, the Oli mascot, the texts and the design of the site belong to Victor Yuki Matusita. Do not copy them or use them as if they were yours without permission.

FileOrca also uses open-source libraries. They keep their own licenses, which are listed on the Licenses page.

Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, Victor Yuki Matusita, who runs FileOrca, is not liable for any loss or damage that comes from using the site or from not being able to use it. This includes lost, deleted or damaged files, lost data, and decisions you make based on a result.

Nothing in these terms takes away rights that the law gives you and does not allow you to waive, including consumer rights.

Changes to these terms

These terms may change, for example when the site gets new tools. The date at the top of this page shows the last update.

If you keep using FileOrca after a change, the new terms apply to you.

Governing law and courts

These terms are governed by Brazilian law. Any dispute goes to the courts of Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil.

The exception is when consumer protection law gives you the right to go to court where you live. In that case, your right stays.
