Content publishing workflow

Measure a draft, review edits, and prepare an optional image exported by your own editor. Keep editable text with the final asset.

English
Quick answer

Follow the first two steps for text. The image branch starts with a PNG or JPG exported from your own editor; the separate Markdown to PNG tool can make short cards. Neither path publishes to a CMS or assembles a finished carousel.

Public tools in this workflow are designed for browser-side processing unless a specific tool page states otherwise. Review each tool page before entering sensitive data. Review data handling.

Task definition

4 available steps; choose the branch for your input and use only the steps the destination requires.

Primary outputs: Reviewed text and length summary, Optional resized/compressed image, Editable source and destination preview check
