 # Compile Tool {#openvino_inference_engine_tools_compile_tool_README}
 
-Compile tool is a C++ application that enables you to compile a network for inference on a specific device and export it to a binary file.
-With the Compile Tool, you can compile a network using supported Inference Engine plugins on a machine that doesn't have the physical device connected and then transfer a generated file to any machine with the target inference device available.

 The tool is delivered as an executable file that can be run on both Linux* and Windows*.
 The tool is located in the `<INSTALLROOT>/tools/compile_tool` directory.
 
-The workflow of the Compile tool is as follows:

+Also, the compile_tool supports the following capabilities:
+- Embedding [layout](../../docs/OV_Runtime_UG/layout_overview.md) and precision conversions (see [Optimize Preprocessing](../../docs/OV_Runtime_UG/preprocessing_overview.md)). To compile the model with advanced preprocessing capabilities, refer to [Use Case - Integrate and Save Preprocessing Steps Into IR](../../docs/OV_Runtime_UG/preprocessing_usecase_save.md) which shows how to have all the preprocessing in the compiled blob.
+- Compile blobs for OpenVINO Runtime API 2.0 by default or for Inference Engine API with explicit option `-ov_api_1_0`
+- Accepts device specific options for customizing the compilation process
