Workflow guide

How PaperKit works

PaperKit keeps the workflow predictable: pick a tool, upload only the files that fit that task, process them on the server, and download the results from a short-lived job page.

Step 1

Choose the right tool

Each tool page explains its purpose, inputs, output format, and FAQ before you upload.

Step 2

Process server-side

Validation, page handling, and document rewriting happen on the server rather than in a browser tab.

Step 3

Download before expiry

Finished files live in a temporary job folder and disappear after the retention window.

Pick the right workflow first

PaperKit is organized so people can identify the right tool before uploading anything. Category pages group related tasks like organization, conversion, optimization, and document security.

Each dedicated tool page adds an overview, benefits, steps, specs, and FAQ so visitors do not need to guess what will happen next.

  • Merge, split, crop, and organize
  • Compress, repair, OCR, and compare
  • Convert between PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, JPG, and HTML

Upload and process

Once a visitor submits a supported file set, PaperKit validates the request on the server and creates a temporary job token for the workflow.

That token ties together the result page, preview URLs, download URLs, and expiry checks without requiring a public user account.

  • Clear server-side validation
  • Tool-specific options and field help
  • Temporary tokenized job storage

Review, download, and move on

After processing, the job result page shows the output files and any important notices. Visitors can download the results directly or preview them when that makes sense for the tool.

The job expires automatically so the system does not become an unbounded archive of uploaded documents.

  • Dedicated result pages
  • Token-based preview and download routes
  • Automatic expiry after two hours
