CSV conversion preserves leading zeros and long IDs as text

Field notes

The toolkit keeps processing in the browser tab and offers format-specific controls rather than a single generic upload flow. Image tools can target a stated file size or maximum dimension, while data tools address delimiter, encoding, precision, and identifier handling. Audio conversion includes three listed MP3 bitrates, and the JXL converter is marked Beta with some variants unsupported. The page also states that clearing the page wipes its working state.
