Find a Gizlet

What do you need?

    Gizlet flows

    Make a little assembly line.

    Put a few Gizlets in order. Each block hands its local result to the next one — no uploads, no saved files in the middle.

    Your files stay in this browser.

    Image Gizlets pass a file to one another, and can end by making a PDF. A block is offered when it accepts what the block before it produces.

    Starting input

    Your image

    JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, or BMP.

      Next step

      One download at the end, an archive when a flow makes a set. Intermediate files stay in this browser tab.

      Start from one of these

      Three flows somebody has already worked out.

      Each is a normal recipe link, the same kind the flow above copies. Opening one fills the blocks in and stops there: nothing runs until you choose a file, and the file you choose stays in this browser.

      1. Make a photograph web-ready

        A picture straight off a camera is several times the size a page needs and in a format that costs a visitor to download. This gives you one that is neither.

        1. Crop ImageTakes the largest 16:9 rectangle from the middle of the picture, so the step after it has nothing to stretch.
        2. Resize ImageDraws that rectangle again at exactly 1600 × 900 pixels.

        Fitting the longest side to 1600 is not something a link can say: a flow’s resize block takes an exact width and a height, and there is no longest-side mode for one to name. The centred 16:9 crop is what makes one exact pair the right instruction for a picture of any shape.

      2. Bind photographs into one document

        Photographs of pages, receipts or a whiteboard, turned into a single document you can send to somebody who wants a document.

        1. Compress ImageRe-encodes each photograph at 80% quality, which is where a camera-sized picture stops being camera-sized.
        2. Image to PDFPuts each photograph on its own A4 portrait page, in the order you chose them.

        The longest side is missing here for the same reason, and resizing is left out rather than guessed at: one exact pair would stretch every photograph that is a different shape, and cropping to a shape cuts the corner off a photographed page. The quality setting carries the size instead.

      3. Join documents and clear their fields

        Several PDFs joined into one, with the title, author and software names the joined file would otherwise have inherited cleared out of it.

        1. Merge PDFJoins the documents into one, in the order you chose them.
        2. Clean PDF MetadataClears the finished document’s own fields: its title, author, subject, keywords, and the software names it was written and produced by.

        Clearing those fields is not redaction. This clears the document’s own fields. It does not touch what is on the pages: text hidden under a shape, an attachment, or a name written in the document itself all stay exactly where they are.
