08 / For you
Add your owndocuments too.
Your Keepable can also hold files you add yourself, such as a birth certificate, passport page or older contract. Keep them beside items an organisation sent through Keepable, then organise both into folders without losing which files came from where.
Birth certificates · passport pages · certificates · title documents · old contracts
In the app
One folder

Photograph it and it is in
Add a photo, scan, or PDF from your phone. It stays beside the documents organisations sent through Keepable and remains available across your devices.
File
Folders, because a long list is not an archive
Group what belongs together and give the folder a name and a symbol. Official letters and your own uploads sit side by side in it, which is how you actually think about your papers.

Build a folder for the request
Six months of payslips, three years of statements, the certificate the school wants. Put them in one folder so the set is ready when you need to review or send it.
Your own uploads stay clearly distinct from items sent through Keepable.
- What you can add
- A PDF, a photo or a scan, up to 20 MB, from your phone or your computer.
- What we strip
- The GPS in a photograph and the author and software details buried in a PDF, before it is stored.
- What stays yours
- Download the lot whenever you like, or close the account and take it with you.
The detail
- What can I put in, and how big?
- PDFs, photographs and scans, up to 20 MB each. Add them from your phone or computer and organise them beside the items already in your Keepable.
- You said you strip things. What exactly?
- A photograph taken at home usually carries the location it was taken in, to within a few metres, which is your address. A PDF out of a word processor usually carries the author's real full name, the software, the dates, and with some programs the entire folder path on the machine that made it. All of that is removed before the file is stored, on every route in: the app, the website, and both phones.
- Is there anything you cannot strip?
- Three cases, and each one is recorded against the document rather than glossed over. A PDF that already carries a digital signature is left alone, because rewriting it would break the signature and we will not trade a contract's evidentiary value for a software name. A file that is password-protected or too damaged to read cannot be rewritten either. A GIF is also left alone because Keepable has no supported metadata to strip from that format.
- How is my own upload different from a letter my bank sent?
- Both are sealed, so both can be proved unchanged since they arrived. Only one carries a sender. We can show whether your passport page has changed since you put it here; we cannot show where you got it because we were not there. The document clearly says which kind it is.
- How do folders work?
- You name one and give it a symbol, and it holds both kinds of paper side by side: the payslips your employer sent and the passport page you photographed. Each shows how much is in it, so "six months of payslips" for an embassy is a folder you open rather than an afternoon of digging.
- Can I get it all back out?
- Yes, whenever, without asking anybody. Download everything, or close the account and take the lot with you.
The limit
Something you upload yourself is yours, and it is not the same thing as a letter from your bank. Keepable can show whether it has changed since you put it here. It cannot show where you got it because we were not there when you did. The difference is shown on the document itself for you and anyone you send it to.
