How it works

Convert files in three steps

The workflow is intentionally direct: upload, process, download. Ready tools run in the app server, while adapter tools are prepared for a production conversion provider.

1

Upload a PDF.

2

Choose compression strength.

3

Download the smaller PDF.

Privacy minded

Built-in tools do not write uploads to permanent storage. Add temporary object storage only when your production backend requires it.

Fast feedback

The interface keeps users informed with upload, processing, success, and error states instead of sending them to a dead end.

Ready to extend

Tool pages and API dispatch are config driven, so advanced providers can be added without rebuilding the site structure.

Questions

PDF conversion FAQ

What will power compression?

This adapter calls Ghostscript locally, so no paid conversion API is required.

Will images lose quality?

That depends on the selected compression profile once the backend is connected.
