Learn how local processing, file handling, and supported workflows fit together.
This page is a short map of how to use the toolkit well: how to pick the right tool, what to check before you trust an output, and where to look next if you want to go deeper.
Choosing a tool#
Start with the tool directory to find the operation you need, then check its accepted input formats, its privacy notice (local versus network-assisted), and any stated limitations before you run it on a real document.
Reviewing output#
Keep the original document until you have opened and inspected the generated file. A conversion, redaction, or merge result is a starting point for your own review, not a substitute for it — this matters especially for anything that will be relied on legally or financially.
Chaining tools into a workflow#
Several tools are designed to be used in sequence — for example converting a scan to a searchable PDF, then redacting sensitive fields, then compressing the result. The Workflow tool lets you chain steps like this without re-uploading between each one.
Building on top of Paperlane#
If you are integrating with the toolkit programmatically rather than using it as an end user, see the Developer hub and MCP integrations pages for the machine-readable capability listings and agent-facing routes.
