I have tested it by uploading two different .AI files coming from Freepik.com stock image library, but I only get a "File Not Supported" error message. There are already plenty of image converters and utilities pre-installed on any OS to do simple format conversions. The value for me was that it would take (as it says on its page) Illustrator files and convert to common bitmap file formats, but I wasn't able to make this feature work.

I've always had to use a number of different sites to convert files and manipulate images — Workbench is a free and reliable alternative to those sites, offering a number of additional tools that I usually thought would require a paid subscription (i.e. auto-tagging images, extract text, color palette). This is a must-have for marketers and designers alike — give it a try!

Hey community! We’re constantly working here at Brandfolder to help marketers, designers, and creatives be more productive. Workbench is our latest project — it allows anyone to manipulate an image from a central, online location, for free! No more using weird, sketchy websites that have insane amounts of sketchy ads. Some of our tools enable you to more easily make a brand asset, by resizing existing content, generating a color palette for complementary pieces, or converting a file for the right occasion (PNG > SVG). Our other tools allow you to leverage images to power your other work, like extracting the text from a 1-pager to produce a blog post. Our auto-tagging tool uses AI to suggest tags for a given image, so you can find the best avenues for promotion, classification, or even new ideas!

Love it

Pros:

Easy to use and trustworthy. Converts .jpg to . PNG and .eps

Cons:

None

As a designer I have the software to execute these tasks, but I'm looking forward to directing marketers/sales/others to this site so they can do these things themselves and stop bugging me.

Pros:

The text extract is EXTREMELY accurate, and I'm intrigued to use the logo comparison for rebrand projects in the future. Bookmarked.

Cons:

None

Very nice design

Pros:

Useful, simple tools. Text extraction is magic. Pro-tip: use it to convert a complex wifi password into copy/paste characters.

Cons:

Nope.

I've always had to use sketchy 3rd party sites found on Google to do this stuff, but now there's a one stop shop for all of it.

Pros:

Super simple and easy.

Cons:

None

Wow! I constantly struggle to find appropriate colour palettes and pics that align with it - will definitely be using the colour palette feature today

I find it a real chore to open up Photoshop every time I need to resize or convert an image. Workbench is a definite time saver!

Gerat addition to the Brandfolder platform.

Pros:

Easy to use and very powerful! Quick way to convert files on the fly.

Cons:

None

A super novel tool all for free. Super excited to give this a shot!

Looks interesting! Just the PNG > SVG is worth it, haha. Looking forward to giving it a shot.

Finally! A non-sketchy place to quickly convert and extract metadata from files.

Been waiting for something like this to come along, good job y'all!

Neat set of tools - super useful for design projects. Love the text feature and easy conversion!
