We fix titles (removing artifacts like "@TeamLiB" or "[Illustrated]"), normalize author names, add missing descriptions, detect and correct language tags, add series metadata, and replace low-quality covers with high-resolution versions from Open Library.
Files are processed and delivered, then deleted. We don't build a library of your books or share your data with anyone.
