Workflows

Run several tools in one go. The output of each step feeds the next, and the whole chain runs in this tab — nothing is uploaded.

Build a workflow

Pick tools in the order you want them to run. Each step starts with that tool’s settings — including any you remembered on its page — and Settings on the step changes them for this workflow only.

Start from a common chain

Pick one to fill the builder, then add, remove or reorder steps before you run it.

How a workflow runs

Pick the tools in the order you want. Each step only offers tools that can take the previous step’s result, so a chain you build is a chain that runs.
Add your file once. The result of each step feeds the next, and every step runs with its own settings — the watermark text, the page numbers, the size to compress to.
Download the final file, or give the chain a name and save it to run again next time.

The chain never leaves this tab

This is where other services keep your file the longest — a multi-step job means a file sitting on their servers through every step. Here each step hands its output straight to the next one in memory. Nothing is uploaded, at any point.
