# Send to… & batch mode

> Reuse a result, or run one tool over many files, without opening the chain builder

Two shortcuts that don't need the full [Chain builder](/features/chains) — one for piping a single result somewhere else, one for running the same tool many times.

## Send output to…

Every tool result has a **Send to…** button. Click it, search for another tool, and that output field carries straight into a matching input field on the tool you picked — no copy-paste.

Only **text-shaped** output fields are eligible sources (plain text, and table/card-grid/object results via their text form — CSV, one title per line, or pretty-printed JSON), and only free-text input fields (text, URL, email, textarea, code) can receive one. If nothing on the target tool qualifies, it won't show up in the search.

<Note>
  This uses the same compressed link format as [Copy shareable link](/features/sharing#copy-a-shareable-link), so it has the same size ceiling — an oversized result surfaces a "too large" message instead of a broken handoff.
</Note>

## Batch mode

Tools that work on a single file usually offer a **Batch** tab next to **Single**, for running that same tool over a whole folder of files at once.

Drop in your files, hit **Run batch**, and each one is processed and listed with its own status. Download results one at a time, or all together as a zip.

|               | Client-side batch           | Server-side batch                                |
| ------------- | --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| Files per run | Up to 50                    | Up to 10                                         |
| Per-file size | Up to 2 MB                  | Tool-dependent                                   |
| Cost          | Free (runs in your browser) | 1 credit per file, same as running the tool once |
| Queued        | All at once                 | One at a time                                    |

Which kind a tool offers depends on where it runs: purely client-side tools (converters, formatters) batch for free in your browser; tools that need our servers (compression, some file conversions) batch through the queued, credited path instead. A tool shows at most one of the two.
