## Introduction

Alchemy is an open-source file converter (built on Electron and React). It also supports operations like merging files together into a pdf. We hope to support more operations and file types soon!

Visit [dawnlabs.io/alchemy/](http://dawnlabs.io/alchemy/) or read [our post](https://dawnlabs.github.io/blog/alchemy/) to learn more.

## Features

* **Beautifully simple**. Super easy, drag-and-drop interface for converting/merging files

* **Merge files**. Merge multiple images into one pdf, you can even change the file order

* **Convert files**. Batch-convert multiple files to a variety of file types

## Usage

1. Simply open the app by clicking on the menubar icon, or by hitting `⌘-⇧-8`.

2. Then just drag your image files into the application and select any options.

3. Finally, click the convert/merge to seamlessly convert them into a variety of formats, or merge them into a pdf or gif. You can also hold `⇧` while dropping to merge the files into a pdf immediately.
