Getting Started
A different site for every small job makes it harder to keep moving. Open ZTools, find a tool in one catalog, and check its input, processing, and account requirements before you begin.
1. Open the app
Open ZTools in a modern browser. Many tools are available without signing in; account and plan requirements vary by feature.
ZTools is also available on Android. Features can vary by platform. There is no iOS app; on iPhone and iPad use the web app.
2. Find a tool
Three discovery paths:
- Search — top-of-page search box, fuzzy match on tool name + description + category.
- Browse — the home page groups tools by category (Text, Image, PDF, Data, etc.).
- Direct URL — every tool has its own stable address, linked from its page in these docs. Bookmark your favorites.
3. Use the tool
Each tool follows a similar pattern:
- Input area — paste, upload, or type your data.
- Configure — pick options (formatting style, output format, etc.).
- Output area — result appears live as you type, or after clicking the action button.
- Copy / download — one-click copy or download for the result.
Processing depends on the tool. Many tasks run in your browser; AI and some file tasks send input to a server or provider. Read the ZTools privacy policy before submitting sensitive input.
4. Save your work
ZTools doesn't require an account, but signing in unlocks:
- Favorites — save frequently-used tools for quick access.
- History — review activity saved by the app when that feature is available for your account.
- Sync — signed-in favorites and some account preferences can sync across devices.
Google sign-in uses Supabase Auth on web and Android. Signing in doesn't change a tool's processing path; read the ZTools privacy policy before submitting sensitive input.
5. Customize the experience
The Palette icon in the top header opens a theme customizer with:
- Appearance — light, dark, system.
- Accent color — 26 built-in palettes.
- Font size, scaling, border radius — accessibility-first sliders.
- Panel background — solid or translucent.
Appearance preferences persist on your device. Signed-in favorites and some account preferences can sync across devices.
6. Share results
Some tools offer a Share action. When one is available, review what that tool includes before you send the link or result.
