Changelog

All notable changes to Your Everyday Tools are documented here. The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project loosely follows Semantic Versioning.

[0.4.1] — 2026-04-20

Fixed

• PDF Compress no longer breaks page layout. Compressed images are now replaced in-place via page.replace_image(xref, ...) instead of being re-inserted at full page dimensions, so the original placement, size, and positioning matrix are preserved. Images shared across multiple pages are also deduplicated so they're only recompressed once.
• PDF Resize now actually scales page content instead of only changing the media box (which previously just cropped the visible area, leaving images and text clipped or misaligned). Scale mode renders each page onto a new page at the new size; paper-size mode fits content into the target with aspect ratio preserved and orientation matched.
• Upload UI — the invisible file input no longer covers the uploaded file list. The remove buttons on each listed file are now clickable. Structural fix: .file-list is now a sibling of .upload-zone rather than a child.

Added

• Per-quality image-dimension cap on PDF Compress (1200/1800/2400 px max edge for low/medium/high) so photo-heavy PDFs actually shrink.
