## Looking for the Web UI?

If you're using Docker:

- You may have pulled an API-only image or there was a build configuration issue
- Use the standard Docker image: `stirlingtools/stirling-pdf:latest`

If you're using a JAR file:

- You downloaded `Stirling-PDF-server.jar` which is the API-only version without UI
- Download the full version from GitHub Releases:
- `Stirling-PDF.jar` - Standard version with UI
- `Stirling-PDF-with-login.jar` - Version with authentication features

If you built from source:

- Rebuild with: `./gradlew build -PbuildWithFrontend=true`
- Or deploy the frontend separately from the `/frontend` directory
