PowerTrove for Windows
Select.Alt+SpaceDone.
A small tool for your Windows desktop. It sees what you have selected and offers just the actions that fit: convert, merge, pack. Local, keyboard-first, no detour through another app.
Try it yourself
Your turn.
Drag a box around files, mix images and PDFs, and see what PowerTrove offers. Nothing leaves your browser.
Context decides
PowerTrove only shows what fits.
Images get image actions, PDFs get PDF actions. Select images and PDFs together and it offers to combine them into one PDF. No menu with forty entries where thirty-eight have nothing to do with your selection.
Convert to AVIF
12 × JPG → 12 × AVIF
Saved next to the originals.
Combine into one PDF
2 × PDF + 3 × JPG → 1 × PDF
Images become pages, in your order.
Organize pages
2 × PDF → 1 × PDF
Sort, rotate and drop pages across both files.
Extract audio
1 × MP4 → 1 × M4A
The video stays as it is.
Export as Markdown
Table range → 1 × MD
From a selection in a supported app.
Compress to ZIP
40 files → 1 × ZIP
One archive instead of forty attachments.

Keyboard first
A handful of keys. That is the whole interface.
Go ahead, press them.
- Local
- Core actions run on your PC. This website never sees your files.
- Preview first
- Before anything writes files, you see what will be created.
- Out of the way
- No window to manage, no app to switch to. PowerTrove appears, does its job and disappears.
Questions
Good to know.
Can I download PowerTrove today?
Yes. PowerTrove is available as a public alpha for Windows 11 x64, as an installer or a portable ZIP. The alpha is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may warn before it starts. The download page lists the file and its SHA-256 checksum.
Does PowerTrove upload my files?
Core workflows run locally. This website’s interactive demo uses illustrative examples and never opens or uploads your files. Desktop downloads are a separate, explicit action.
Which apps and files are supported?
PowerTrove uses typed context providers. File Explorer selections and supported table selections expose different actions. Availability also depends on installed packs, codecs and local processing engines.
Can anyone publish a plugin?
The developer workflow is being built. Initially, community packs will require source and package review, isolated checks and a separate signing process before distribution. A signature is not a guarantee that arbitrary code is safe.
Is the project open source?
Yes. The desktop app is open source under the Apache 2.0 license and developed publicly on GitHub. The website platform is developed separately.
