File formats, privacy & what happens after the upload
Supported file formats
We accept all common text formats: Word (.docx, .doc), PDF, OpenDocument (.odt), Rich Text Format (.rtf), plain text (.txt) and Apple Pages (.pages). For proofreading and editing we recommend DOCX, because changes can be marked directly in the document with tracked changes. PDFs carry a surcharge because they take more technical effort to edit.
File size & length
The maximum file size is 100 MB, so even very long works such as dissertations or books upload without problems. The number of billable pages (standard pages of 1,800 characters) is worked out automatically after the upload. You can exclude individual pages from editing, for example the cover page, table of contents or reference list.
What happens after the upload
After the upload your document is analysed automatically and you see a page preview. You choose the pages you want, the service (proofreading, editing and so on) and the delivery time. You then receive an order confirmation by email. An experienced editor starts work straight away, and you receive the finished document back within the delivery time you booked.
Privacy & security
All file transfers are SSL-encrypted. We work in full compliance with the GDPR and do not pass your document on to universities, examiners or other third parties. Only the service providers we need for the processing handle it on our behalf (see the privacy policy). Once your order is complete, your uploaded document is irrevocably deleted from our servers. We use servers in Germany exclusively.
No registration needed
You can place your order completely anonymously and without registering. No user account is required. To send back the edited document we only need your email address, and no other personal data.
Support if you have questions
If you have questions about the upload, the service or your order, you can reach us at any time at kontakt@korrektur.de or through the contact form. We usually reply within 24 hours. Our FAQ answers many common questions too.
Frequently asked questions about uploading
Which file formats can I upload?
We accept all common text formats: Word (.docx, .doc), PDF, OpenDocument (.odt), Rich Text Format (.rtf), plain text (.txt) and Apple Pages (.pages). For proofreading and editing we recommend DOCX, because changes can be marked directly in the document with Word's tracked changes.
How large can my file be?
The maximum file size is 100 MB, so even very long works such as dissertations, books or edited volumes upload without problems. If your file is over the limit, you can split it into several parts or contact us directly through the contact form.
Do I have to register to upload?
No, registration is not required. You can upload your document completely anonymously and without a user account. To send back the edited document we only need your email address, and no other personal data.
What happens to my document after the upload?
After the upload your document is analysed automatically and you see a page preview. You choose the pages you want, the service (proofreading, editing, plagiarism check or AI detector) and the delivery time. You are then forwarded to the shop, where you can complete your order.
Can I exclude individual pages from editing?
Yes. After the upload you see a preview of all pages in your document. You can deselect individual pages, for example the cover page, table of contents, list of figures or reference list. Only the selected pages are charged and edited.
How is the page count (standard pages) calculated?
One standard page equals 1,800 characters including spaces. The number of standard pages is calculated automatically from the text of your document after the upload. You can also estimate it beforehand with our page count calculator.
Is my upload secure and encrypted?
Yes. All file transfers use an SSL-encrypted connection. We use servers in Germany exclusively and work in full compliance with the GDPR. Your document is never published and is not passed on to universities, examiners or other third parties. Only the service providers we need for the processing handle it on our behalf (see the privacy policy).
How long is my document stored?
Your uploaded document is irrevocably deleted from our servers 7 days after your order is complete at the latest. Uploads that are not completed are removed automatically after 7 days. We do not keep copies and do not pass your document on to universities, examiners or other third parties. Only the service providers we need for the processing handle it on our behalf (see the privacy policy).
Can I upload PDFs too?
Yes, PDF files are supported. Please note that PDFs carry a surcharge, because they take more technical effort to edit than DOCX files. If possible, we recommend converting your document to DOCX before uploading.
What can I order after the upload?
After the upload all our services are available to you: proofreading (from €1.90 per standard page), editing (from €4.90 per standard page), plagiarism check (from €0.29 per standard page) and AI detector (from €0.29 per standard page). You can also combine several services. The minimum order value is €19.
My upload does not work. What can I do?
Make sure your file is in one of the supported formats and does not exceed 100 MB. If necessary, try another browser or clear your browser cache. If the problem persists, contact us at kontakt@korrektur.de and we will help you within 24 hours.
Can I also send my document by email?
Yes, as an alternative to the upload you can send your document by email to kontakt@korrektur.de. Please state the service and delivery time you want. Our team will prepare an individual quote and take care of everything else.
