❓ FAQ

Can it convert Word to PDF?

Yes. This is one of the most popular use cases. Simply use targetFormat: "pdf" with a DOCX/DOC input file.

Can it convert JPEG to PNG?

Absolutely. Set targetFormat: "png" with a .jpg or .jpeg input. The conversion is lossless.

Does it preserve spreadsheet formatting?

Yes, at compression levels 0-3, all formatting is preserved. Levels 4+ may remove some styles to reduce file size.

Where do I download the converted file?

Navigate to the Output tab in Apify Console, then go to Key‑Value Store and click on the OUTPUT key to download.

What's the maximum file size?

The Actor can handle files up to 100 MB. This limit ensures optimal performance and prevents memory issues. For larger files, consider:

• Compressing the file before conversion
• Splitting large files into smaller chunks
• Using a lower compression level if the file is already converted

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Yes. Use the Apify API to loop through multiple files and process them in parallel or sequentially. See the batch processing example above.

Are there any file format limitations?

Password-protected or corrupted files cannot be converted. Ensure your input files are valid and publicly accessible.

Can I upload files directly instead of using URLs?

Yes. You can upload files directly through the Apify Console. Simply use the file upload input field instead of providing a URL. This is especially useful for local files or files that aren't publicly accessible.
