Last updated: February 11, 2026

🔐 Content Security & Protection

Your product files are protected with industry-leading security measures:

  • Authenticated Storage: Original files are stored with Cloudinary'stype: "authenticated"access control, making them inaccessible via direct URLs.
  • Signed URLs: After purchase, buyers receive time-limited signed URLs (valid for 5 minutes) that cannot be shared or reused.
  • Malware Scanning: All uploaded files are automatically scanned using VirusTotal API to ensure platform safety.
  • No Public Access: Your full content PDFs are never publicly accessible. Only verified purchasers can download them.

👁️ Automatic Preview Generation

When you upload a PDF, our system automatically generates a watermarked previewfor potential buyers. Here's how it works:

Preview Page Count Rules:

Original PagesPreview Pages Shown
1-11 pages1 page
12-25 pages2 pages
26-50 pages3 pages
51+ pages4 pages
  • Watermarked Pages: Preview pages include diagonal "PREVIEW ONLY" watermark and bottom text stating "Purchase to unlock full content".
  • Locked Placeholder Pages: After real preview pages, 2-3 locked placeholder pages are added showing "LOCKED" to indicate more content is available.
  • Public Access: Preview PDFs are intentionally public so buyers can evaluate your content quality before purchasing.
  • Zero Seller Effort: This happens automatically - you only upload ONE file (the full content PDF).
