    Create Workflows: step by step

    Save a sequence of PDF steps once, then apply the whole sequence to any document in a single run. No sign-up, files erased after use.

    1. 1

      Open the manager

      Every saved chain lists here with its tools and a Launch button — “flatten > compress” ships as an example. Create New starts a fresh one; Export and Import move your workflows between browsers. Files are deleted after 2 hours.

      The Workflows manager — Create New, Export and Import buttons above the Example Workflow row with flatten > compress and its Launch button
    2. 2

      Build the chain

      Name the workflow, then write one step per line — rotate:angle=90, watermark:text=DRAFT, compress. The page's own how-to card spells the syntax out; Save workflow keeps the chain in the list above.

      Launch & download

      Hit Launch, pick the document, and every step runs in the order written. Our test chain (rotate:angle=90 + compress) returned the four-page document rotated 90° and recompressed — ready behind Download like any single-tool run.

    • Chains of tools

      Rotate, crop, resize, n-up, flip, watermark, compress — lined up in one pass.

    • One step per line

      Plain text: rotate:angle=90, watermark:text=DRAFT,size=36, compress.

    • Saved & reused

      Save workflow keeps it; Launch runs it on the next document.

    • Export & Import

      Move your workflows to another browser as a file.

    • One pass

      Every step runs in the order they are written, inside a single task.

    • Private by default

      No account, no watermark — and every file is automatically deleted after 2 hours.

    What the other tools do

    Resize

    Changes the paper: scale every page to a new size (A4, Letter, Legal and the rest), add margins around existing content, or shrink the file.

    PDF to Text

    Copies the selectable text out of a PDF into a plain text file, page after page, keeping the reading order the PDF declares.

    Alternate & Mix

    Interleaves the pages of two or more documents instead of stacking them one after the other. It is the tool for a duplex scan made on a single-sided scanner, where the fronts and the backs come away as two files with the second one in reverse.

    Compare

    Compares two versions of the same document and names every meaningful difference: changed wording, numbers and dates, inserted or removed blocks, and pages that shifted. The result is a report you can read, not a highlight layer you have to interpret.
