File Tools That Save Teachers Time

Teachers create and share more documents than almost any other profession — lesson plans, handouts, worksheets, exams, and reference materials. But school email systems have tiny attachment limits, scanners produce unsearchable images, and students find creative ways around exam security. SquishConvert gives you the file tools to handle it all without needing IT support.

Common file headaches for teachers

School email systems cap attachments at 5-10 MB, but your PDF handout with images is 30 MB
The department scanner produces image-only PDFs that you can't edit, search, or copy text from
You need to share exams digitally but can't risk students editing or redistributing them easily
Students submit assignments in random formats (.pages, .odt, .heic) that you can't open on your school computer
