# The `preserves-tools` package
The `preserves-tools` package includes useful command-line utilities for working with
[Preserves](../guide/preserves.md) values and schemas.
At present, it includes the [`preserves-tool` Swiss-army-knife
utility][preserves-tool], which is useful for
- converting between text and binary Preserves syntaxes;
- pretty-printing (indenting) text Preserves syntax;
- manipulating Preserves annotations;
- breaking down and filtering Preserves documents using [preserves
path](https://preserves.gitlab.io/preserves/preserves-path.html) selectors;
- and so on.
See also the [`preserves-tool` documentation][preserves-tool].
