SnapOtter d24e244af4 docs: organize tool pages by modality under /tools/<modality>/
Move all 157 tool pages into image/video/audio/pdf/data subfolders so URLs read /tools/<modality>/<id> (e.g. /tools/image/crop). Nest the image sub-categories under an Image group in the sidebar so the nav reads by modality. Add public/_redirects (301, clean + .html forms) mapping every old flat /tools/<id> URL to its new path so inbound links keep working. Rewrite all internal /tools links. Verified with a clean docs build (no dead links).

}

Notes

  • The watermark is rendered as a text overlay on each page.
  • The same watermark text, position, and style are applied uniformly to all pages.
  • Use lower opacity values (0.1-0.3) for subtle watermarks that do not obscure content.
