WINPEBBLE GUIDES

A little know-how.
A smoother workflow.

Simple explanations for using small tools with confidence.

01 / DOWNLOAD SAFETY

Check a file’s SHA-256

A checksum helps confirm that a downloaded file matches the published release. It is not a security scan or a guarantee that a file is safe.

  1. Download the release directly from its WinPebble product page.
  2. Open PowerShell and run the command below, replacing the example path with your downloaded file’s path.
  3. Compare the resulting hash with the SHA-256 shown on the product page. Every character must match; letter case does not matter.
Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 -LiteralPath "C:\Users\YourName\Downloads\file.zip"

If the values differ, do not run the file. Download it again from the official product page and check once more.
02 / IMAGE FORMATS

When should you use PNG or JPG?

PNG is useful for crisp interface screenshots, graphics, and transparency. JPG is often useful for photographs and services that require a JPG upload.

JPG uses lossy compression and does not support transparency. Quality 100 does not make it lossless or guarantee a smaller file. Keep the PNG original when you may need to edit it again.

03 / PDF CONVERSION

What to expect from 300 DPI

DPI connects the size of a PDF page to the pixel dimensions of an exported image. At 300 DPI, a page that is 8 inches wide renders to approximately 2,400 pixels across.

Higher pixel counts can produce larger files. Rendering at 300 DPI cannot recreate detail missing from a low-resolution scan.

WinPebble’s PDF tool is designed to put a one-page result beside the PDF and multi-page results in their own folder.

04 / GETTING STARTED

Before installing a small tool

  • Check the supported Windows version and architecture.
  • Read the dependency and installation notes for that exact release.
  • Verify the checksum and review any Windows security prompts.
  • Keep a copy of important originals before your first conversion.
  • Read the removal instructions so you know how to undo the installation.

PNG to JPG v1.0.0 is available. Follow the installation instructions on its product page. PDF to Image is still in preparation.
