2. Description of Service

FreeStudentTools.com provides free, browser-based document tools including:

  • OCR (Optical Character Recognition) scanning
  • PDF to Word and Excel conversion
  • Document translation
  • PDF compression

All tools are provided free of charge and process documents locally in your browser.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes. You must not:

  • Use the Site to process content that is illegal, harmful, or infringes on the rights of others

4. Copyright, Watermarks & Intellectual Property

You are solely responsible for ensuring that any document you process using our tools is either owned by you or that you have explicit, lawful permission to process it.

Watermarks: Our tools do not remove watermarks. The PDF Compressor re-renders pages as compressed images — any watermarks present in the original document will remain in the output. FreeStudentTools.com does not condone, facilitate, or support the removal of watermarks or copyright notices from any document.

Plagiarism: Using our tools to extract, convert, or translate copyrighted content for the purpose of plagiarism or academic dishonesty is strictly prohibited and is a violation of these Terms.

Our content: The Site's design, code, and content are owned by FreeStudentTools.com and may not be copied or reproduced without permission.

5. Third-Party Services

Our translation tool sends text (not files) to the MyMemory translation API. By using the translation feature, you agree to the terms of that service. We are not responsible for the accuracy of translations provided by third-party APIs.

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google's terms and privacy policy apply to their advertising services.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Site and its tools are provided "as is" without any warranties, express or implied. We do not guarantee:

  • That the tools will be error-free or uninterrupted
  • That OCR or conversion results will be 100% accurate
  • That the Site will be available at all times

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, FreeStudentTools.com shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Site or its tools.
