Jianpu and Editable score file exports are free.

Standard processing usually fits one score photo or an A4/Letter PDF of about 1–5 pages; large-file processing usually fits about 6–24 pages. A4/Letter PDFs of about 25 pages or more may exceed the processing limit. Files over 20 MiB, images over 32 MP, or PDF pages beyond the preflight pixel limit cannot be accepted. Page counts are approximate: actual acceptance and processing depend on file size, page layout and preflight. Split PDFs into files of about 24 pages or fewer, compress oversized files or images, or import MusicXML. Rejected files incur no payment or credit charges.
