What does Document Format Converter — Markdown, HTML & Text do?

This actor wraps the Pandoc document converter to provide a simple, API-accessible way to convert between dozens of document formats on Apify. No need to install Pandoc locally or manage command-line arguments — just provide your source text (or a URL to fetch from), pick your input and output formats, and get the converted document back.

Supported input formats: Markdown, HTML, reStructuredText, LaTeX, Textile, Org Mode, MediaWiki

Supported output formats: HTML, Markdown, EPUB, DOCX (Word), PPTX (PowerPoint), PDF, reStructuredText, LaTeX, Plain Text

Key Features

Universal conversion — 7 input formats × 9 output formats = 50+ conversion pairs
Real Pandoc engine — not a JS polyfill. Full Pandoc binary with LaTeX support for PDF output
Fetch from URL — provide a URL and the actor fetches the source content automatically
Table of contents — auto-generate TOC for HTML, EPUB, and DOCX output
Standalone or fragment — get a complete document or just the converted body
Advanced mode — pass custom Pandoc CLI arguments for full control
Binary output support — EPUB, DOCX, PPTX, and PDF files saved to key-value store with correct MIME types
Cost controls — source content defaults to a 250,000 character cap and can be raised to 1,000,000 characters per run

How much does it cost?

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing with the document-converted event. Each successful document conversion is one billable event in the live Store pricing entry.

Can I convert very large documents?

The actor defaults to 250,000 source characters and supports up to 1,000,000 characters per run. Conversion timeout is 300 seconds. For very large or complex LaTeX documents, split the source into smaller runs.

What version of Pandoc is used?

The actor uses the Pandoc version available in the Debian repositories (typically 2.x+). For most conversions this is fully sufficient. If you need a specific Pandoc version or feature, mention it in the customArgs field.

Pricing

This actor uses Pay-Per-Event (PPE) pricing with the document-converted event: $5.20 per 1,000 documents converted ($0.0052 per document) in the live Store pricing entry.

Apify platform usage follows the live Store pricing entry.
