Beautiful type, and a good reminder for anyone switching their headings today: serve display fonts as WOFF2 and subset them to the characters you actually use. A headline font shouldn't weigh more than the hero image.

Google just turned Gemini into a file editor. Since Oct 29 you can generate, preview and edit PDFs, Docs, Sheets and slide decks right inside the chat. PDFs work on web and mobile, the rest on web for now. The chat window is becoming the document. Would you edit a PDF there?

Need a product photo on a clean background, but don't have Photoshop? Here's a simple fix: drop the photo into Convertlo's Remove Background tool. It cuts out the subject in seconds, right in your browser. No signup, no watermark, free. #productivity

Did you know? HEIF (the format behind iPhone .HEIC photos) is a container, not a codec. Nokia's team says new work adds VVC/H.266 support and a lightweight variant for icons and thumbnails. Why it matters: better codecs can slot in without rebuilding your photo workflow.

Bank statements are the top target for AI-faked documents: 23.7% of AI-generated flags in Inscribe's 2026 data, which says the visual tells are mostly gone. When a lender asks, send the original PDF, not a screenshot. inscribe.ai/reports/2026-doc… #fraud #banking

Big GIF? Turn it into an MP4. Video codecs handle motion far better than GIF, so the clip usually gets much smaller and plays smoother. Free, up to 50 MB, no signup, no watermark, and it stays in your browser. convertlo.pro/gif-to-mp4.htm… #GIF #video

Resumes: PDF or DOCX? PDF keeps your layout exactly as you made it. DOCX is easy to edit, and some recruiters and job portals ask for it. Our rule: send what the job post asks for. If it says nothing, PDF. Which do you send? #resume #jobsearch

Still serving WOFF fonts? W3C's evaluation found WOFF2 about 24% smaller than WOFF 1.0 (median, Google Fonts), about 27% on Adobe TrueType fonts and about 13.5% on CFF fonts. Smaller fonts, faster pages. w3.org/TR/WOFF20ER/ #webfonts #webperf

Do you watermark photos you post online? A small corner mark is easy to crop out. A big one across the middle protects more but ruins the picture. Our take: a subtle mark plus your name in the caption. What do you do? #photography #watermark

IPTC checked 6,580 news photos. Only 27 carried C2PA Content Credentials, nearly all signed by AI or design tools, none by a camera. Most lose the photographer's credit on the way to you. Strip metadata or keep it? iptc.org/news/announcing-ipt… #C2PA #metadata

Need the text out of a screenshot? Don't retype it. Image to Text pulls it out with OCR, free, no signup, and the image stays in your browser. Works on scanned pages too. convertlo.pro/image-to-text.… #OCR #productivity

Why does your iPhone save HEIC? Apple says it keeps JPEG-level quality in less space, about 2x compression on average (WWDC17). Need JPEGs? Settings > Camera > Formats > Most Compatible. developer.apple.com/videos/p… support.apple.com/en-us/1169… #HEIC #iPhone

A 46 KB PDF with no macros or JavaScript passed the scanners. Just opening it sent the browser to a phishing page via OpenAction, a standard PDF feature. If a PDF opens a tab by itself, close it. Don't log in. ironscales.com/threat-intell… #infosec #PDF

Sending data to someone: CSV or XLSX? CSV opens anywhere but drops formatting, formulas and extra sheets, and leading zeros can vanish on open. XLSX keeps it all but needs a spreadsheet app. Our pick: CSV for data, XLSX for reports. Yours? #CSV #Excel

The AV2 video spec is final. AOMedia says it matches AV1 quality with about 30% better compression. Don't expect it on your phone yet: software comes first, hardware later. Long term: same picture, less data. aomedia.org/blog%20posts/AV2… #AV2 #video

FLAC is lossless: decode it and you get the exact original audio back, bit for bit. MP3 throws data away to save space. Keep FLAC as your master, make MP3 copies for your phone. xiph.org/flac/features.html convertlo.pro/flac-to-mp3.ht… #FLAC #audio

Microsoft: QR phishing rose 146% in Q1 2026, mostly hidden in PDF attachments. By June it fell back to 8.3M a month. Rule: never scan a QR code from a PDF you didn't expect. microsoft.com/en-us/security… microsoft.com/en-us/security… #phishing #QRcode

Before you hand a document to an AI tool: PDF or Markdown? PDF keeps the look. Markdown keeps the structure, so headings, lists and tables reach the model as clean text. For AI, we lean Markdown. What do you feed yours? #AI #Markdown

"HEIF Heist": researchers at Hacktron say crafted HEIC/AVIF uploads could exploit old libheif versions on servers, with RCE at big platforms. Fix: libheif 1.23.2+. Image files are attack surface too. heif-heist.com/ #infosec #HEIC

Hot take: HEIC isn't a bad format. It's a support problem. Great files, but half the apps and upload forms still reject them, even some AI chat apps. Should Apple default to JPEG, or should software catch up? #HEIC #iPhone
