Tools (PDF, Images, Conversion)

What it does
The Tools page is a grab-bag of single-purpose utilities for files in your library: PDF merge/split/compress, format conversion, OCR, batch resize, EXIF strip, and more.
When to use it
- One-off file cleanup that doesn't justify a design.
- Bulk conversion (e.g. all PNG → WebP for the web).
- Pulling text out of scanned PDFs or images (OCR).
Available tools
- Merge several PDFs into one.
- Split a PDF by page range.
- Compress a PDF for email.
- PDF → Images (one image per page).
- Images → PDF (combine into a single PDF).
- OCR PDF (recognize text and add a searchable layer).
Images
- Convert format — JPEG/PNG/WebP/AVIF.
- Batch resize — apply one size to many.
- Strip EXIF — remove camera/location metadata before sharing.
- Compress — pick target size or quality.
Documents
- DOCX / PPTX → PDF
- CSV → XLSX
- Extract text from any document.
Step-by-step
- Open Tools.
- Click a tool tile.
- Pick assets from your library (or drop new files into the picker).
- Configure options (e.g. quality, target size, page ranges).
- Run. Outputs land as new assets in your library.
Tips & limits
- Tools run server-side — your browser doesn't have to be open after the job starts.
- Per-tool size limits apply (most cap at 500 MB per input file).
- Outputs respect the same retention/Trash policy as any other asset.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Tool greyed out | Your role lacks write permission. | Ask an admin. |
| OCR result is gibberish | Source quality too low. | Re-scan at ≥300 DPI. |
| Output not in library | Job still running. | Check Activity in the top bar. |
