Open Image to PDFA simple folder system
Create broad folders for the way you actually work: School, Job Applications, Clients, Receipts, Personal, or Projects. Inside each folder, use dates and document types so files sort naturally.
A simple system that you use every week is better than a perfect structure you abandon after two days.
File names that help later
Use names like 2026-09-client-invoice-INV-014.pdf or 2026-history-assignment-final.pdf. Include the date, topic, document type, and version only when it helps.
Avoid names such as final-final-new.pdf, scan001.pdf, or screenshot.png for important documents.
Where Convert My Docs fits
Use Image to PDF to group related photos, OCR to copy text from images, PDF to Text for readable PDFs, and Merge PDF when finished documents need to travel together.
After converting, move the downloaded result to the correct folder immediately. The Downloads folder should not become the filing system.
