# Cody Image Converter: Hostinger upload guide

1. Open Hostinger File Manager and open the document root for the site (usually `public_html`).
2. Upload the contents of this folder, including `index.html`, `app.js`, `styles.css`, and `.htaccess`, directly into that document root. Do not upload the parent folder unless you want the app at a subdirectory.
3. Open the site URL over HTTPS and test with a small PNG and a transparent PNG.

This is a static website. It needs no Node.js process, database, PHP endpoint, API key, account, or upload service. The included `.htaccess` supplies basic security headers and the WebAssembly MIME type needed if codec assets are added later. The app uses browser-native APIs and has no external requests or tracking code. The PDF reducer can remove common metadata and DEFLATE eligible uncompressed content streams. The options do not re-encode embedded photographs, so already-optimized scans may not become smaller. The merge mode combines selected PDFs in selection order.

## Editing

`index.html` contains the page structure and metadata. `styles.css` contains the visual system. `app.js` contains local image/PDF processing, PDF reduction options, PDF merging, downloads, cancellation, and the ZIP writer. These are the editable source and deployable files.
