- Its three-key scheme separates conversion (Shift), file tools (Ctrl), and actions (Alt), showing only options that fit the selection.
Field notes
The feature list is organized by file type—images, PDFs, video, and audio—with available operations changing according to the dragged selection. Image tools include metadata removal, OCR-to-text, custom crop ratios, and combining images into a PDF; video options include target-size compression, trimming, muting, and frame capture. The page says Windows’ own media engine handles video and that HEIC and AVIF open through Windows.
