COMMON QUERIES

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is my data stored on the cloud or locally?

Recito uses a hybrid approach: your metadata, annotations, highlights, and notes are synced to secure cloud storage (your library data), while PDFs can be stored in two ways based on your preference:

  • Local sync: Keep PDFs on your computer and sync with a local folder (requires Chromium-based browsers)
  • Cloud storage: Upload PDFs to cloud storage based on your plan (Reader: 300 MB, Scholar: 3 GB)

Browser cache (IndexedDB) stores data locally for fast offline access, while cloud sync ensures your library is accessible from any device.

What PDF formats and sources can I import from?

You can import via DOI lookup, title search, drag-and-drop PDF upload, or manual entry. We also automatically find open access PDFs.

How does the free trial work?

No credit card required. You get full access to every feature for 14 days, unlimited papers, all citation formats, and our full immersive reader.

Can I use Recito Reader offline?

Yes! Once your PDFs and library data are synced, you can read, annotate, highlight, and generate citations completely offline. Browser cache stores your recent papers locally for fast access.

You'll need internet to: import new papers via DOI/search, find open access PDFs, sync changes across devices, or upload new PDFs to cloud storage.

Which citation formats are supported?

We support 15+ citation formats including APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, IEEE, Vancouver, BibTeX, and RIS. You can copy any format to clipboard with one click, or bulk export your entire library as a .bib or .ris file for import into LaTeX, Word, or reference managers.

What happens if I cancel my subscription?

You keep full access to all paid features until the end of your current billing period. After that, you can still access your library in read-only mode, but won't be able to upload new PDFs to cloud storage or sync changes. Cloud-stored PDFs are retained for 90 days after cancellation, giving you time to download them locally.

What's your refund policy?

We offer a full 14-day free trial with no credit card required, so you can thoroughly test all features before subscribing. Once you've subscribed and payment has been processed, refunds are generally not available.

Which browsers are supported?

Recito works in all modern browsers. For the best experience:

  • Local folder sync: Requires Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera) due to File System Access API
  • Text-to-speech: Works best in Microsoft Edge for natural-sounding voices
  • Cloud-only mode: Works in any modern browser including Firefox and Safari
