Click a tool button on any PDF, Word, Excel, or PowerPoint attachment, process the file on RelahConvert.com, and the result is sent back to your Media Library automatically.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Your file never leaves your device.<\/strong> All 16 tools process your PDF or Office document entirely in your browser \u2014 there is no server-side conversion step, no third-party processing API, no upload to RelahConvert's servers for the file itself. The processing JavaScript runs locally on whatever device you have the Media Library open on.<\/p>\n\n<p>This plugin is a sibling to <strong>RelahConvert Image Tools<\/strong> (38 image tools). They cover non-overlapping file types \u2014 install one, both, or neither.<\/p>\n\n<h4>The 16 tools<\/h4>\n\n<p><strong>PDF \u2014 Organize<\/strong>\n* Merge PDF \u2014 combine multiple PDF files into a single document\n* Split PDF \u2014 split a PDF into multiple files by page range\n* Reorder Pages \u2014 drag and drop to reorder pages\n* Extract Pages \u2014 pull specific pages into a new document\n* Remove Pages \u2014 remove unwanted pages<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>PDF \u2014 Edit<\/strong>\n* Rotate PDF \u2014 rotate pages by 90, 180, or 270 degrees\n* Crop PDF \u2014 crop margins or specific areas\n* Add Page Numbers \u2014 add page numbers with custom positioning\n* Watermark PDF \u2014 add text or image watermarks\n* Extract Images \u2014 pull every embedded image out of a PDF<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>PDF \u2014 Optimize &amp; Security<\/strong>\n* Compress PDF \u2014 reduce file size while preserving quality\n* Protect PDF \u2014 add a password\n* Unlock PDF \u2014 remove the password from a PDF you own<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Office \u2194 Office<\/strong>\n* Excel to Word \u2014 convert .xlsx spreadsheets to editable .docx documents\n* Word to Excel \u2014 convert .docx documents to editable .xlsx spreadsheets\n* PowerPoint to Word \u2014 convert .pptx slide text and tables to .docx documents<\/p>\n\n<h4>Where Processing Happens<\/h4>\n\n<p><strong>All 16 tools process your file entirely in your browser using open-source JavaScript libraries<\/strong> (pdf-lib, pdfjs, JSZip, mammoth.js, SheetJS, docx). Your PDF, Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file never leaves your device for the actual conversion or editing step.<\/p>\n\n<p>The only network activity tied to file content is <strong>\"Send to WordPress\"<\/strong> \u2014 when you choose to send your processed file back to your Media Library, the plugin POSTs it to a REST endpoint on your own WordPress site using a short-lived authentication token.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Optional, only if the user signs in on RelahConvert.com:<\/strong> Save to Account uploads the processed file to Supabase Storage so it can be re-downloaded later.

When you click a tool button in the Media Library, your browser opens RelahConvert.com with your file auto-loaded.<\/p>\n\n<p>What happens there:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>All 16 tools (Merge, Split, Compress, Rotate, Watermark, Excel \u2194 Word, etc.)<\/strong> \u2014 Processing runs in your browser via JavaScript. No network roundtrip for your file itself.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Library scripts via jsDelivr CDN<\/strong> \u2014 On first use of a tool, RelahConvert.com loads JavaScript libraries (pdfjs for PDF parsing, JSZip for ZIP bundling) from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jsdelivr.com\">jsDelivr<\/a> public CDN.
