Quality standard
A tool is not added to public discovery until it has a useful workflow, clear limitations, working output, and a status in the controlled relaunch registry.
1. Tool selection
We prioritize practical tools for image, PDF, text, and developer workflows. Random, novelty, or thin legacy tools stay out of public discovery until they have a clear use case and a stronger implementation.
2. Implementation
Rebuilt tools use a wide, tool-first layout so the main interface appears before long explanatory content. Supporting content is written around features the tool actually provides.
- Inputs, settings, previews, and downloads should be visible and responsive.
- Browser-only processing is used when it fits the workflow.
- Unsupported formats and browser limitations are stated clearly.
3. Functional testing
We check the main success path for every active tool: adding input, changing settings, generating output, copying or downloading results, and recovering from invalid input.
4. Browser and mobile testing
We review active pages on desktop and narrow mobile widths, looking for broken layouts, horizontal overflow, hidden controls, and text that does not fit its container.
5. Privacy review
Each tool needs an accurate processing note. We only describe a tool as local or browser-based when the implementation keeps submitted content on the device for that workflow.
6. Accessibility checks
Controls should be reachable by keyboard, labels should be meaningful, focus states should be visible, and page structure should remain understandable to assistive technology.
7. Error handling
Tools should show useful messages for invalid files, failed decoding, unsupported options, browser export failures, and empty input. The message should help the user fix the issue.
8. Updates
Active tool status, versions, and test dates are tracked in the relaunch registry. Product updates are recorded on the changelog when they affect public behavior.
