Workspace
This workspace processes the content directly in your browser.
Formatting, decoding, validation, and common file work stay local whenever possible, then continue in the same result area for copy, download, or the next step.
Paste content, choose a file, or load a sample first.
The content stays in the local browser by default.
After processing, copy, download, or continue into a related workflow.
