The clock starts at the moment the conversion completes, not when you first visit the download page.
What Gets Deleted
Both the original uploaded file and the converted output file are removed when the window expires. Download links become invalid immediately after deletion. No backup copies are retained on jpg.now servers after deletion.
How Automatic Deletion Works
A scheduled background job runs periodically and removes files whose expiry timestamp has passed. This is fully automatic - You do not need to request deletion manually, though you can re-download any file within your retention window from your dashboard if you have an account.
How to Extend Your Retention Window
Create a free account to extend retention from 24 hours to 7 days at no cost. For files you need to access for up to a year, Premium ($9.99/mo) gives you 365-day retention. Premium Plus ($29.99/mo) stores your converted files indefinitely. For any plan, you can also download the output promptly and keep a local copy.
