Are uploaded files stored?
Most tools process uploads in a private temporary directory and remove them after the request. Temporary share links are the exception and expire automatically; never upload a secret you do not want to share.

Keep the original file, review the result, and try a smaller input or a related validator. Contact support before replacing a production file.
