Filora Terms of Use

These terms apply to the Filora (绣刻) app. By installing or using it you agree to them. Last updated: 5 November 2026.

What Filora is

Filora is a tool that converts pictures and vector files into G-code and embroidery stitch files. It prepares files only. It does not control any machine, and you decide what to do with the files it produces. The app is published by PDFSwift (“we”, “us”).

Licence to use the app

We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use Filora on your devices, for personal or business use, in line with these terms and the rules of the app store you got it from. Do not copy, modify, resell or reverse engineer the app except where the law allows it regardless of this term. Third-party components in the app remain under their own licences.

Your content

You keep all rights in the pictures, drawings and designs you bring into Filora and in the files you create with it. You are responsible for having the right to use what you convert. Do not use Filora with material that infringes someone else’s copyright, trademark or other rights, or that is unlawful. We do not receive or review your content, because it stays on your device.

Safety: you run the machine

CNC routers, laser engravers and embroidery machines can injure people and cause fires or damage. When you use files made with Filora:

• follow your machine maker’s safety instructions and wear suitable protection (eye protection, hearing protection, dust and fume extraction as needed);
• never leave a running cutting, laser or embroidery machine unattended;
• check the settings, work area, tool, material, origin and travel limits before every job;
• run a test on scrap material first.

The preview, the time estimate and the warnings in the app are aids. They are approximations and may not match what your machine does.

Output files and compatibility

Filora writes G-code (plain text, GRBL-style) and the embroidery formats DST, PES, JEF and EXP following their published layouts. We do not guarantee that any file will work with a particular machine, controller, software or material, or that the result will look or cut as you expect. Machines differ; you are responsible for checking and adjusting files for yours.

Free features, Pro and ads

On Android, Filora is free to use. An optional one-time purchase called Pro unlocks the extra features described in the store listing and on our products page. It is not a subscription. The price is shown in the store before you buy.

Purchases are made through the app store you installed Filora from and are tied to your store account. Payment, receipts, restoring purchases and refunds are handled by that store under its own rules, and we cannot refund payments ourselves. Pro is licensed to your store account, not sold as a physical product. We may change, add or remove features over time; the store listing describes what Pro includes.

iPhone and iPad. The iPhone and iPad version is free to use and is supported by advertising from Google AdMob. A one-time purchase called “Remove Ads”, made through the Apple App Store, removes all ads for good; it is not a subscription and does not change what the app can do. You can also watch an optional video to pause ads for one hour. Apple’s terms apply to your purchase, and Apple handles payment, restoring purchases and refunds; we cannot refund payments ourselves. Ads come from third parties, and we are not responsible for what they promote or for the sites and apps they lead to.

Availability and updates

We provide Filora as available and may update, change or stop offering it. Updates may be needed to keep it working on new versions of your phone’s software.

No warranty

To the extent the law allows, Filora is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not promise that the app will be error-free or uninterrupted.

Limit of liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, wasted material, damaged tools or machines, or injury or damage resulting from running files made with Filora. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

Trademarks

Names such as Tajima, Brother, Janome, Melco and GRBL, and the names of machines and software, belong to their owners. We use file-format and protocol names only to say what Filora produces. Filora is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by those companies.

Your privacy

How the app handles information is described in the Filora Privacy Policy.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We will change the date above, and a material change will be shown in the app or the store listing. Using Filora after a change means you accept the updated terms.
