Batch
Convert documents in bulk
Queue many files at once and let them convert in the background. Track each file's status, see the credits used, and download all the Markdown from one place.
- Process repeated files without manual upload loops
- Per-file status: queued, running, done, failed
- Track credits used and download results from one place
Why convert in bulk
The homepage converter handles a single file. Batch is for the point where converting documents becomes recurring work.
No manual loops
Add a stack of files once instead of uploading and downloading them one at a time.
Runs in the background
Conversions process server-side, so you can close the tab and come back to the results.
Results in one place
Every output lands in your library, paired with its source file.
Predictable cost
See the credits a batch uses, so heavier files map to clearer usage.
How a batch runs
Add your files
Select many documents at once to start a batch.
The batch runs
Files convert in the background through the same parsing engine as single conversion.
Track progress
Watch each file move from queued to running to done — or surface the ones that failed.
Download or save
Collect the Markdown outputs, or keep them in your library for later reuse.
Tracking built in
A batch is only useful if you can see what happened. Every run keeps a record you can return to.
Batch history
Revisit past batches instead of re-running the same files.
Per-file status
Every file reports queued, running, done, or failed independently.
Retry failures
A single bad file does not sink the batch — handle it on its own.
Credits and usage
See how much each batch consumed and when limits reset.
Use cases
When to reach for batch
RAG ingestion backfills
Convert an existing corpus before chunking and embedding.
Document migrations
Move large folders of PDFs and Office files into Markdown.
Recurring reports
Process a regular drop of documents on the same cadence.
Multi-file projects
Turn a whole project's worth of source documents into clean text at once.
Batch is part of the paid plans. See the pricing page for current limits. Need batch in your own code instead of the UI? Use the developer API.
Common questions
Which plans include batch conversion?
Batch is available on paid plans. The free public converter handles a single file at a time. See the pricing page for current plan limits.
What happens if one file fails?
Each file is tracked on its own. A failed file is flagged so you can retry it without re-running the files that already succeeded.
Which formats can I batch?
The same formats as single conversion — PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, images and scans, and web content — since batch uses the same parsing engine.
Where do the results go?
Outputs land in your library paired with their source files, so you can preview, download, or reuse them after the batch finishes.
Do I need to keep the tab open?
No. Batches run server-side, so you can leave and return to the results from your batch history.
