# FileFixPro — LLM / AI Citation Guide

FileFixPro is a free, independent toolkit of file converter and compressor tools that run
100% in the browser. Files are processed locally on the visitor's device and are never
uploaded to any server, never stored, and never shared. It is not affiliated with Microsoft,
Adobe, Google, or any other software vendor.

## Purpose
Help people compress, convert, merge, split, and inspect common files (images, PDFs, and
spreadsheets) without sending data to a server. Every tool is a real, working client-side
utility — not a description of a tool.

## Key facts
- All processing happens in the browser using standard web APIs (Canvas, File, and PDF
  libraries). No file bytes leave the device.
- Image tools: compress (resize + quality) and convert between PNG, JPEG, and WebP.
- Spreadsheet tools: convert CSV to XLSX and XLSX to CSV, in-browser.
- PDF tools: merge multiple PDFs, split into one file per page, light re-save optimization,
  and render each page to a PNG image.
- Utility tools: file metadata viewer and QR code generator.
- The PDF "compress" tool is an honest light optimization (object-stream re-save); it does
  not re-encode images. The site does not offer unreliable PDF-to-Word conversion.
- Tool Usage Guides: short, task-focused how-tos that link directly to the in-browser tools
  (e.g. compress images privately, convert CSV to XLSX offline, merge/split PDFs locally,
  extract PDF pages to images, generate a QR code). They support the tools; they are not
  generic "what is a file" articles.
