REST API
Programmatic access to our converters over HTTPS with API keys, simple JSON responses, webhooks, and fair rate limits.
Public Roadmap
A concise view of planned work. Priorities may change based on feedback and impact.
Image file conversionJPG · PNG · WEBP · HEIC · SVG
Convert and optimize images with resizing, quality control, and metadata stripping. Useful for documents, web, and email.
Audio file conversionMP3 · WAV · FLAC · AAC · OGG
Transcode audio with bitrate, channels, and trim options. Great for voice notes, podcasts, and lightweight previews.
Video file conversionMP4 · WEBM · MKV · MOV
Convert videos with resolution/codec presets, size targets, and thumbnail extraction for easier sharing and embedding.
PDF editing mode
Reorder and rotate pages, annotate, merge/split, and remove sensitive elements. Focus on practical everyday edits.
Archive file conversionZIP · 7Z · RAR · TAR.GZ
Create and extract archives, convert between formats, and set basic compression levels for efficient packaging.
Paid subscription and payments
Introduce Pro plans with higher limits, priority processing, and team features. Integrations with Stripe and PayPal.
How we prioritize
Our roadmap reflects user feedback, technical feasibility, and market demand. Features that solve pain points for the widest range of users move up the list. We also consider implementation complexity—some features require significant infrastructure changes while others build on existing capabilities.
The order shown above represents our current thinking, but priorities shift as we learn more. A feature requested by many users might jump ahead of something we originally planned earlier. Conversely, technical challenges sometimes delay items we expected to ship sooner.
What's already available
FileConvertLab currently supports PDF conversions (to and from Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and images), document format interchange (DOCX, ODT, RTF, TXT), OCR for images and scanned PDFs, PDF compression, and page image extraction. These tools handle the most common document conversion scenarios encountered in professional workflows.
Each tool includes optimized defaults based on typical use cases. OCR automatically detects document language and applies preprocessing for better accuracy. PDF compression balances file size reduction against visual quality. Office conversions preserve formatting, tables, and embedded images wherever possible.
Request a feature
Missing a format or capability you need? We want to hear about it. Contact us at info@fileconvertlab.com with details about your use case: what file formats, typical file sizes, volume expectations, and how you'd use the feature in your workflow.
Specific requests help us prioritize better than general wishes. "I need to convert CAD drawings to PDF for client presentations" is more actionable than "support more formats." The more context you provide, the better we can evaluate whether and how to build what you need.
Technical approach
We build on proven open-source foundations: Apache PDFBox for PDF operations, LibreOffice for office format conversions, Tesseract for OCR, and FFmpeg for upcoming media processing. This lets us focus on user experience and workflow optimization rather than reinventing core conversion engines.
Our API (when released) will follow REST conventions with JSON responses, webhook callbacks for async operations, and clear rate limiting. We aim for predictable behavior: same input produces same output, with documented options for controlling quality/size tradeoffs.
