Image Tools
Plain Tools Image Tools is the category hub for workflows that turn PDF pages into images, combine images into PDFs, compress image assets, or handle image-heavy scanned documents. It is designed for users who arrive with a visual file task and want to move directly into a working tool instead of navigating the broader PDF directory first. The linked routes reuse the live Plain Tools components, so there is no thin SEO shell between the category page and the actual workflow. For the core file tasks here, processing happens locally in your browser rather than through a remote upload service. That makes the hub useful for screenshots, scanned paperwork, visual records, preview exports, and image bundles that still contain private or business-sensitive information. Use this category page when the input or output is primarily image-based, then follow the guide links if you need OCR context or want to verify the local-processing behaviour yourself.
