What shipped.

Every entry records a real release — tools verified on real documents before they appeared here, updates measured before they were claimed. Most recent first.

June 29, 2026

  • —Shipped HEIC to PDF (51st tool) — converts iPhone and iPad photos to PDF entirely in your browser. File never uploaded. Beats iLovePDF and Smallpdf, both of which upload. Requires Chrome 118+ or Safari 16+; Firefox shows an actionable error.
  • —Fixed image-to-PDF surface: GIF, BMP, and AVIF to PDF tools were silently rejecting valid file types due to a missing format set entry. Now correctly converted on all three tools.
  • —Homepage drop zone now routes HEIC, GIF, BMP, and AVIF files to the correct image-to-PDF tool automatically — previously showed unsupported error.
  • —Live search added to the guides page — all 57 guides now searchable by title, description, or slug.
  • —Roadmap page (/roadmap) built out: shipped items, up-next queue, and planned work — honest about what is and is not built.
  • —Accessibility statement (/accessibility) published: keyboard navigation, screen reader support, colour/contrast, reduced-motion, and known limitations — all verified against the live tools.
  • —Category listing pages (/pdf) upgraded to show tool icons, taglines, and engine/time badges — matching the main tools grid.
  • —All 56 guides expanded to 380+ words — above the SEO minimum content threshold. Related guides section added to every guide page.
  • —Tool search added to the tools listing page — all 51 tools searchable client-side.
  • —Shipped 26 format-conversion tools in one batch: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, RTF, ODT, ODP, ODS, HTML, URL, CSV, TXT, GIF, BMP, SVG, TIFF, AVIF, WebP, Markdown, EPUB to PDF — plus PDF to PowerPoint (PPTX). Now at 50 tools.
  • —Published 56 guides covering all major tools. Live competitor comparison at /compare.

June 24, 2026

  • —Tool identity system: each tool page now carries its family hue — the same colour used in the grid and the menu follows the tool into its page header and drop zone.
  • —Instrument tile in every tool header — the tool's icon tile travels with it so its identity is consistent across every context.
  • —Categorised Tools mega-menu on desktop and grouped mobile menu — tools organised by what they do, not alphabetically.

June 23, 2026

  • —Shipped PDF to Word (22nd tool) — on-device conversion using pdf-lib, no upload.

  • —Shipped Extract Images (21st tool) — pull embedded image objects from a PDF, on-device.
  • —Drag-and-drop on every tool: drop a file anywhere on the page.
  • —Download naming convention: every output carries the original filename (e.g., report-rotated.pdf, report.jpg).
  • —Redact PDF rebuilt as a focused on-device editor with text search — find and redact by keyword, not just by drawing boxes.
  • —OCR PDF: searchable PDF output (invisible aligned text layer over the scan image) and 7-language support.
