# Helper Tools Helper tools, also known as utilities, are small programs designed to enhance your IDA functionality. Since IDA 9.1, most of these utilities are shipped alongside IDA and included with the IDA installation. ## Built-in tools You can find these tools in the `tools` folder inside the main IDA installation directory: * **Flair**: allows to add your own compiler libraries to the FLIRT engine * **IDAClang**: a command line version of IDAClang plugin * **idsutils**: helps create/maintain IDS files from DLLs * **loadint**: creates your own disassembler comment databases * [**Tilib**](/9.1/user-guide/types/type-libraries/tilib.md): creates type libraries (til files) for IDA ### idat tools In addition to the tools listed above, IDA includes utilities used by idat, such as Qwingraph and TVision. ## Additional tools in the Download Center The **IDA PIN tool** is available for download in the [My Hex-Rays Portal](https://my.hex-rays.com/dashboard/download-center). Additionally, the Download Center provides utilities for older IDA versions (prior to 9.1). ## How to use these tools? For detailed usage instructions and tips, refer to the README files located in each tool's folder. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
