Do I need an account to use a public tool?
No. The gateway supports anonymous guest requests for currently listed public tools. An account provides a distinct identity and account job history.

Answers for common PDFWhirl workflows.
Find how uploads, jobs, downloads, and protected routes behave.
How are files handled?
Files are uploaded through the API, processed by tool workers, and downloaded through short-lived signed URLs returned by the file service.
What happens after I start a tool?
The frontend creates a job, polls the job API until a terminal state, then requests signed download URLs for every output file.
Why is a tool I saw before no longer listed?
The public catalog shows only workflows whose frontend, API route, and production worker path have been reviewed together. Development and infrastructure-dependent tools are hidden until they are ready.
