Paste a link to any digitised manuscript from your preferred library and let the engine retrieve every page at the source resolution, then assemble a polished, Ultra HD PDF. No file uploads required. Simply provide the URL, hit Start, and download your processed document in seconds. Paste any link from e-codices, Vatican, or Gallica → One clean PDF in minutes.
Hey everyone,
I built "Manuscript Digitizer" out of a recurring frustration in manuscript research: libraries provide excellent digital collections, but they are built for viewing, not for study. Accessing a complete codex still requires opening hundreds of pages individually, saving images one by one, renaming files, and assembling them manually — hours of mechanical work before actual research even begins.
Manuscript Digitizer removes that step. It connects directly to IIIF-based collections — including the Vatican Library and e-codices — retrieves every page at full resolution, and produces a complete, Ultra HD PDF of the manuscript. A batch queue supports processing entire collections. The application runs locally on Windows; nothing leaves your machine.
The free plan (5 pages) is available if you want to evaluate it against a real codex:

Feedback I would find most valuable:
Which library collections should be added next?
What is missing from the PDF output — bookmarks, metadata, page numbering?
What else in your digitization workflow remains manual and should be automated?
I will be reading and answering every comment.
