- Each converted position can be checked against its source diagram, with a Lichess edit link and correctness feedback.
Field notes
The PDF workflow lets users select a file or drop it in, optionally set a PDF title, and inspect position-by-position results; the page warns that moves and annotations are not printed in generated PDFs. A feedback prompt asks whether each conversion is correct, while users can navigate positions and open edits on Lichess. The interface identifies its creator as IM Rakesh Kumar Jena and displays version 1.5.5.
