Features

Document Conversion

Tool	Description
Files to PDF	Convert images (JPG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, WebP), Word documents (.docx, .doc, .odt), and text files to PDF. Word files prefer LibreOffice for full-fidelity layout; lower-fidelity .docx fallback must be explicitly allowed.
PDF to Word	Convert PDF documents to .docx. Five modes: Exact visual copy (non-editable page images, best appearance), Layout (editable, lossy), Smart structure, Flowing text, and Marker (optional ML structure engine). Page range supported on all modes.
PDF to Images	Export each PDF page as PNG or JPG (configurable DPI)
PDF to Text	Extract all text content from a PDF
PDF to Excel	Extract tables from a PDF into an .xlsx workbook — one sheet per table, per page, or all combined. Uses optional pdfplumber first when available, with PyMuPDF as the built-in local fallback.
HTML to PDF	Convert HTML content to a PDF document. Uses LibreOffice for full CSS / table / image support when available; lower-fidelity PyMuPDF fallback must be explicitly allowed.
Markdown to PDF	Paste or upload Markdown (.md) and download a formatted PDF. Choose page size and base font size. Uses PyMuPDF's Story API for proper multi-page pagination.
Markdown to Word	Convert Markdown to a .docx document with correct heading, list, quote, and code styles
PDF to PowerPoint	Convert PDFs to .pptx using editable LibreOffice mode when available, or image-per-slide mode for non-editable visual preservation. Choose slide size, page range, and DPI in image mode.
PowerPoint to PDF	Convert .pptx / .ppt / .odp presentations to PDF through the hardened LibreOffice wrapper (isolated profile, safer timeout, robust output detection).
OCR PDF	Make scanned PDFs searchable (image + hidden text layer) or extract text — 14 languages supported
CAD to PDF/Image	Convert DXF drawings to PDF or PNG (DWG via optional ODA File Converter)

Spreadsheet

Tool	Description
Excel to CSV / JSON	Export sheets from .xlsx / .xls to CSV or JSON (array-of-objects or array-of-arrays). Single sheet or all sheets as ZIP.
CSV / JSON to Excel	Build an .xlsx workbook from one or more CSV or JSON files — one sheet per file, optional bold/shaded header row
Excel to PDF	Convert workbooks to PDF with LibreOffice for high-fidelity print/layout preservation. The older ReportLab table renderer remains as an explicit basic fallback.
Merge Workbooks	Combine multiple Excel files into a single workbook, optionally prefixing each sheet with its source filename
Split Sheets	Export each sheet of a workbook as its own .xlsx (bundled as a ZIP if more than one)
Excel Info & Preview	List sheet names, row/column counts, and preview the first N rows of every sheet
CSV Toolkit	Filter, sort, and de-duplicate CSV rows. Auto-detects delimiter. Filter operators: =, !=, contains, startswith, endswith, >, >=, <, <=, empty, notempty. Full-row or by-column dedupe.

PDF Tools

Tool	Description
Merge PDFs	Combine multiple PDF files into one document
Split PDF	Split a PDF into individual pages or custom page ranges
Compress PDF	Reduce PDF file size (low / medium / high compression)
Rotate PDF	Rotate all or specific pages (90, 180, 270 degrees)
Resize PDF	Scale pages by percentage or fit to standard paper sizes (A3–A5, Letter, Legal)
Page Numbers	Add page numbers with configurable position, font size, and start number
Extract Images	Extract all embedded images from a PDF
Protect PDF	Encrypt a PDF with user and owner passwords (AES-256)
Unlock PDF	Remove password protection from a PDF
Sign PDF	Stamp a signature image (PNG/JPG) onto selected pages with position, width, margin, and opacity control
Redact PDF	Permanently black-out sensitive text by literal match or regex (emails, card numbers, IDs, etc.). Underlying text is removed from the content stream so it can't be recovered with copy-paste.
Fill PDF Form	Upload a PDF that has AcroForm fields (tax forms, contracts, gov applications), fill text/checkbox/radio/dropdown fields in your browser, and download the filled PDF. Two-step flow: detect fields → fill → download.

Image Tools

Tool	Description
Resize Image	Resize by percentage or exact pixel dimensions (with aspect ratio lock)
Compress Image	Reduce file size with Auto, Photo/JPEG, Lossless PNG, and WebP modes. Applies EXIF orientation and preserves transparency/profile data where possible.
Convert Format	Convert between PNG, JPG, WebP, BMP, and TIFF
Remove Background	Automatically remove image backgrounds using AI
Crop Image	Crop by aspect ratio (1:1, 4:3, 16:9, etc.) or custom coordinates
Rotate / Flip	Rotate 90/180/270 degrees, flip horizontal or vertical
Add Watermark	Add text watermark with configurable position, opacity, size, and tiled mode
EXIF Viewer	View or strip image metadata (EXIF data) for privacy
Favicon Generator	Create .ico favicons from any image with multiple size options
Image to Text (OCR)	Extract text from images using optical character recognition
Animated WebP/GIF	Convert between animated GIF and animated WebP (preserves per-frame timing)
Color Palette	Extract a dominant color palette (2–16 colors) from an image via quantization or grid sampling. Includes swatch preview with hex codes.
SVG to PNG	Rasterize SVG vectors to PNG in the browser first for better SVG fidelity, with the existing local server renderer as fallback.
SVG Optimizer	Strip comments, editor metadata (Inkscape/Sketch/Adobe namespaces), and round decimals to shrink SVG files
HEIC Converter	Convert iPhone .heic / .heif photos to JPG, PNG, or WebP (single or bulk → ZIP). Once installed, all other image tools also accept HEIC inputs.
Merge Images	Combine multiple images into one — balanced grid by default, plus horizontal or vertical layouts. Images are scaled (aspect ratio preserved) so rows line up flush with no gaps. Output size is bounded by a configurable max width so merging large photos stays fast. Supports spacing, background color, and PNG/JPG/WebP output. Images merge in upload order.

Quick Start

Easy start (recommended — no command line needed)

Install Python 3.10+ once (on Windows, tick "Add Python to PATH" during install), then:

OS	What to do
Windows	Double-click run.bat
macOS	Double-click run.command. First time only, open Terminal in this folder and run chmod +x run.command (macOS strips the executable bit on downloads).
Linux	chmod +x run.sh && ./run.sh

The launcher creates a private .venv, installs required Python packages, best-effort installs optional Python packages, starts the server, and opens your browser automatically. Close the window to stop. Subsequent runs skip completed setup steps unless the dependency files change.

The launchers are intentionally isolated from your global Python packages, so a broken system/user install (for example the unrelated fitz package that conflicts with PyMuPDF) will not break the app.

Optional native desktop engines such as LibreOffice, FFmpeg, Tesseract, and ODA File Converter are detected locally and used automatically when present. They are not bundled into the repository because they are large system apps with OS-specific installers, but the app shows clear install hints through the tool pages and /capabilities.

Simple Use (Dockerfile + docker-compose)

Click here and just double-click start.bat without the need to install the prerequisites.

Manual install

If you prefer full control:

# Clone the repository (pick any mirror — they track the same branch)
git clone https://github.com/listyantidewi1/your-everyday-tools.git
# or: git clone https://codeberg.org/listyantidewi/your-everyday-tools.git
# or: git clone https://bitbucket.org/your-everyday-tools/your-every-tools.git
# (Optional) SSH: git clone git@github.com:listyantidewi1/your-everyday-tools.git
cd your-everyday-tools

# Create a virtual environment (recommended)
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate        # Linux/macOS
venv\Scripts\activate           # Windows

# Install the full dependency set for manual/developer use
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run
python app.py

Open http://localhost:5000 in your browser.

Troubleshooting

fitz / PyMuPDF import error

PyMuPDF is installed with the package name PyMuPDF, but imported in Python as fitz. Do not install the unrelated package named fitz; it can cause startup errors involving frontend or Starlette.

Recommended fix:

python -m pip uninstall -y fitz frontend
python -m pip install --upgrade PyMuPDF

On Windows, the easiest path is to run run.bat, which creates a clean .venv and installs the correct dependencies there. If running manually, prefer:

.\.venv\Scripts\python.exe app.py

---

Local Conversion Fidelity

The app stays local/offline: no uploaded files are sent to cloud conversion APIs. Tools that need better layout fidelity use locally installed engines when available.

• GET /capabilities reports detected engines, paths/versions when known, quality tier, missing engines, and install hints.
• The shared upload UI shows High fidelity, Basic fallback, or Unavailable before conversion.
• File responses include X-Conversion-Engine, X-Conversion-Quality, and, when relevant, X-Fidelity-Warnings.
• Layout-sensitive fallbacks are no longer silent. Word/HTML/Excel to PDF require an explicit fallback checkbox when LibreOffice is unavailable or fails.
• LibreOffice conversions run with an isolated temporary user profile and headless-safe flags.

---

Optional Dependencies

The core app works out of the box with the main dependencies. Some features require additional packages that may need system-level libraries:

Package	Feature	Notes
rembg[cpu]	Remove Background	Installs rembg with the CPU ONNX Runtime backend. The app works without it and shows a helpful message if missing or incomplete.
pyzbar	Read QR Code	Requires the ZBar shared library on your system.
LibreOffice (external)	Word/HTML/Excel/PowerPoint to PDF, editable PDF to PowerPoint	Recommended for high-fidelity document/layout conversion. The app detects common install paths and uses an isolated temporary profile per conversion.
pdf2docx	PDF to Word Layout mode	Pure Python, but conversion quality depends on PDF complexity.
pdfplumber	PDF to Excel	Optional table extractor used before the built-in PyMuPDF fallback when available.
pytesseract	Image to Text (OCR), OCR PDF	Requires the Tesseract binary installed on your system. For non-English OCR, download the matching *.traineddata language pack into your Tesseract tessdata folder.
ezdxf + matplotlib	CAD to PDF/Image	Renders DXF drawings. For DWG support, also install the free ODA File Converter and make sure it's on your PATH.
ffmpeg (external)	All Audio & Video tools	Requires the FFmpeg binary on your PATH. Each media tool page shows a green banner if FFmpeg is detected, with install instructions if not.
pillow-heif	HEIC/HEIF image support	Enables iPhone .heic / .heif inputs across image tools.
openai-whisper	Speech to Text	Local Whisper transcription. First use of a model may download model weights unless already cached locally.
pytest	Test suite	Used for route and fidelity tests; optional for normal app use.
sqlparse, croniter, jsonpath-ng	SQL Formatter, Cron Parser, JSONPath Tester	Small pure-Python packages included in requirements.txt. Everything else under Developer Utilities runs entirely in the browser.

Dependency files are split for easier setup:

• requirements-core.txt starts the app and enables the primary built-in tools.
• requirements-optional.txt adds optional local packages for heavier/specialized tools.
• requirements-dev.txt adds test tooling.
• requirements.txt includes all of the above for full manual/developer installs.

If you only need the core tools, install:

pip install -r requirements-core.txt

Enabling DWG support (ODA File Converter)

DXF files work out of the box once you install ezdxf and matplotlib. For DWG files, the app shells out to the free ODA File Converter (by Open Design Alliance) to convert DWG → DXF, then renders the DXF. There is no reliable pure-Python library that reads DWG, so this extra step is necessary.

1. Download the installer for your OS from opendesign.com. It's a free guest download — no account required.

2. Run the installer. Defaults are fine.

3. Add it to your PATH so the Flask app can find it. The app looks for a binary named ODAFileConverter or oda_file_converter using shutil.which().

   • Windows — add the install folder (contains ODAFileConverter.exe) to your Path:

     • Press Win + R → sysdm.cpl → Advanced tab → Environment Variables
     • Under System variables, select Path → Edit → New → paste the folder, e.g.:

       C:\Program Files\ODA\ODAFileConverter 26.4.0
       

     • Click OK, open a new terminal, run where ODAFileConverter to verify.

   • macOS — symlink the binary into /usr/local/bin:

     sudo ln -s /Applications/ODAFileConverter.app/Contents/MacOS/ODAFileConverter /usr/local/bin/ODAFileConverter
     

     Verify with which ODAFileConverter.

   • Linux — the .deb / .rpm package usually installs the binary on PATH automatically. If not:

     sudo ln -s /opt/ODAFileConverter_QT5*/ODAFileConverter /usr/local/bin/ODAFileConverter
     

     Verify with which ODAFileConverter.

4. Restart the Flask server. PATH is read once at startup, so a running server won't see the new entry. After restart, the CAD tool page will show a green "DWG support is enabled" banner.

No ODA, no problem: if you can't install it (e.g. on a restricted machine), open your DWG in free tools like Autodesk Viewer, LibreCAD, or QCAD, export as DXF, then upload the DXF here.

Architecture Notes

• One universal template — upload_tool.html powers all 25+ server-side tools. Each route passes title, description, accepted file types, and form options as template variables. No per-tool template duplication.
• Client-side tools (text utilities, calculators, security tools) run entirely in the browser with vanilla JavaScript — zero server round-trips.
• Local-first processing — pure browser tools never leave the page; server routes process files locally. Some engines such as LibreOffice, FFmpeg, ODA, and pdf2docx use isolated temporary directories when their CLI/library workflow requires files.
• No CSS framework or CDN dependency — custom CSS with CSS Grid, Flexbox, CSS custom properties, and vendored Bootstrap Icons.
• Graceful degradation — optional packages and external binaries (LibreOffice, FFmpeg, ffprobe, Tesseract, ODA File Converter, rembg, pyzbar, pdf2docx, pdfplumber, pytesseract, pillow-heif, Whisper, etc.) are reported through /capabilities and tool-page status banners. Missing high-fidelity engines either show a clear unavailable state or require explicit basic fallback consent.

Configuration

The app has sensible defaults. You can adjust these in app.py:

Setting	Default	Description
MAX_CONTENT_LENGTH	100 MB	Maximum upload file size
debug	True	Flask debug mode (disable in production)
port	5000	Server port

---

Deployment

For production use, run with a WSGI server instead of the built-in Flask server:

pip install gunicorn
gunicorn -w 4 -b 0.0.0.0:8000 app:app

On Windows, use waitress instead:

pip install waitress
waitress-serve --port=8000 app:app
