File Retention
PrintScale stores files only for the time needed to complete jobs, provide downloads, and support recent work.
Current retention windows
- Completed-job downloads are available for three days after processing. Expired job files are removed by scheduled cleanup, so physical deletion may occur after that window closes.
- Download and archive your production files within the 3-day window.
- Anonymous trial uploads and previews are scheduled for removal after 24 hours.
Downloads
The dashboard and job status views show output availability and expiry states. Download links may stop working after the file expires, so production assets should be downloaded and archived by the user.
Expired files
When a file expires, PrintScale removes or disables access to the stored object and hides or disables download actions. Limited job metadata may remain in your account for history, support, billing reconciliation, and abuse prevention.
Not a backup service
PrintScale is an upscaling tool, not a storage or backup service. Retention windows may change, and you are responsible for downloading and archiving production files before they expire.
