Capability

Documents & data.

Create, read and reshape documents & data. Build PDFs from HTML, Markdown, images, .docx or invoice/receipt/report templates; merge, split, select, rotate, watermark and number pages; read or set metadata; read or fill forms. Convert .docx/.xlsx/.csv to Markdown, and rows of data to a spreadsheet. Extract structured JSON, summarize, or answer questions over any document with AI. Pure-JS edits run in milliseconds; rendering and AI run on the edge. Every operation is also an MCP tool — one end of the document-to-web pipeline, on the same key as web capture.
