Overview

This tool is designed for fast, local processing with no server upload. It focuses on clarity and repeatable results.

When to use it

  • When you need a quick result without installing software.
  • When you must keep files on your device for privacy.
  • When you want a predictable output for reuse or sharing.

How it works

Your file is processed in the browser. The workflow is deterministic and optimized for common document patterns.

Best practices

  • Start with a small sample to confirm output expectations.
  • Keep file names simple to avoid OS-specific edge cases.
  • If results look off, try the tool again after a page refresh.

Common mistakes

  • Uploading encrypted or corrupted files without preparing them first.
  • Assuming a tool will fix formatting issues outside its scope.
  • Closing the tab before the download completes.

⚠️ Limits

  • Cannot fix already saved-over corrupt files
  • Requires guessing original encoding
