Guides
Jobs that take more than one tool
Every tool page already explains its own tool. These are for the jobs that need several, where the hard part is knowing which order to do them in - cleaning a messy spreadsheet before you can compare it, or getting a PDF into a state where the rest of a workflow actually works on it.
Each guide below walks through a real, complete task from start to finish, naming the exact tool for each step and linking straight to it, so you can jump in partway through if you only need one part of it. Everything runs in your browser, the same as the individual tools - nothing is uploaded to do the guide itself.
How to clean up a messy spreadsheet
Upload the file once, look at what is actually wrong with it, fix the formatting, then deal with the duplicates. Each step hands the file to the next, so you upload once and download at the end.

How to compare two spreadsheets
It depends what "compare" means for your files. To see what changed between two versions, compare them directly. To bring columns across from one to the other, match them on a shared column. To check two systems agree on money, reconcile them.

How to edit a PDF without Acrobat
"Editing a PDF" is usually one of five different jobs. Open the file once and you can do all of them in sequence - reorder the pages, mark it, number it, sign it and shrink it - then download once at the end.
