Technical FAQ
What browsers are supported?
clarife works best on Chromium-based browsers: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Arc, and Brave. Safari and Firefox are supported but may have minor differences in export rendering. We recommend Chrome for the best experience.
What is the maximum file size for uploads?
Individual image uploads are limited to 30 MB per file. This applies to both file uploads and clipboard paste. For larger images, resize them before uploading.
What image formats are supported?
clarife accepts PNG, JPG/JPEG, and WebP formats for screenshot uploads. PNG is recommended for UI screenshots as it preserves sharp text and edges.
Can I use clarife offline?
No. clarife is a cloud-based application that requires an internet connection. Documents are saved to the cloud in real time. The clarife capture companion app can capture screenshots offline, but syncing requires a connection.
Is there an API?
Yes. clarife offers a REST API, an MCP server, and webhooks on the Pro and Business plans. Generate API keys in Settings > API. See the API overview for details.
What are the export formats?
You can export documents as PDF (via browser print engine), HTML (self-contained file), and Markdown (plain text with image references). Business plan users can also generate presentation-style exports.
How does auto-save work?
clarife automatically saves your document as you edit. Changes are persisted to the cloud within seconds. A save indicator in the toolbar confirms when the latest changes are saved. You can also press Cmd+S for manual save.
What operating systems does the companion app support?
The clarife capture companion app is available for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel). Windows and Linux versions are not currently available.
How large can a document be?
There is no hard limit on the number of blocks per document. However, very large documents (50+ screenshots) may load more slowly. Storage limits are per-account, not per-document.
Does clarife support custom domains for shared links?
Yes. On the Business plan, you can configure a custom domain (e.g., docs.yourcompany.com) for your shared document links. Set this up in Settings > Branding.
