Workbench is a free library of tools designed to help marketers save time and effort. Resize an image, extract its text, generate a color palette, and much more.

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.

Have also tried to upload a 2.5MB .EPS file, but also here, nothing happens. The file uploads fine, but then nothing happens. As if you hadn't uploaded anything.

@robingood Thanks for testing and the feedback, we've made some tweaks and it should accept those files now!

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!

Awesome work guys! Looks like a treasure trove of time saving resources.

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

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!

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!

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

Pros:

Super simple and easy.
