You see the price before you press Extract
Extract.FAST calculates the credit cost in your browser from the files you've selected and the outputs you've chosen, and shows it to you before anything runs. That number is exactly what you're charged — no more, no less — even after we've processed your files.
Free daily credits and paid credits
Every account gets a daily allowance of free credits, which resets each day. When you need more — for bigger files or busier days — you can top up with paid credits. See the pricing page for the current allowances and credit packs.
One balance across Tools.FAST
Your credit balance is shared across the Tools.FAST tools, so credits you buy on any of them work here too. There's one account and one balance for the whole network.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I ever be charged more than the price I saw?
No. The cost shown before you press Extract is locked in — that's what you pay, even if a file turns out larger or more complex than expected.
How is the cost calculated?
From the file you select and the outputs you choose, using what's known about the file, all before the job runs. You always see the total before you commit.
Do my credits work on other Tools.FAST tools?
Yes. There's a single account and credit balance across the Tools.FAST network, so credits work on every tool.
