Public Roadmap

A concise view of planned work. Priorities may change based on feedback and impact.

AI-powered PDF conversions

Intelligent table detection, layout analysis, and structure preservation using machine learning. Better handling of complex documents with mixed content.

Batch processing

Convert multiple files at once with consistent settings. Upload a folder or ZIP archive and get all files processed in parallel.

E-book formatsEPUB · MOBI · AZW3 · FB2

Read and convert e-book formats for cross-device compatibility. Extract text and images from digital publications.

Browser extension

Quick access to conversion tools from your browser toolbar. Right-click any file link to convert directly without visiting the site.

Mobile apps

Native iOS and Android apps with offline capabilities for basic conversions and seamless cloud sync for larger files.

Team and Enterprise features

Shared workspaces, usage analytics, SSO integration, and dedicated support for organizations with high-volume conversion needs.

Advanced PDF security

Create password-protected PDFs, add digital signatures, redact sensitive content, and manage document permissions.

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 offers a comprehensive suite of conversion tools. PDF conversions support Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML, and images. Document formats include DOCX, ODT, RTF, and TXT with full formatting preservation. OCR handles 18+ languages for scanned documents and images.

Image conversion covers JPG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC, SVG, BMP, ICO, TIFF, and GIF with quality control. Audio supports MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, OGG, M4A, and WMA. Video handles MP4, WEBM, MKV, MOV, AVI, FLV, and WMV including GIF extraction.

PDF editing includes merge, split, rotate, reorder pages, delete pages, add watermarks, compress, and unlock protected files. Archive handling supports ZIP, 7Z, TAR.GZ, TAR.BZ2, and TAR.XZ for both creation and extraction.

REST API with API keys provides programmatic access to all conversion tools. Pro subscriptions via Stripe offer higher limits, priority processing, and extended file retention.

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, FFmpeg for media processing, and ImageMagick for image manipulation. This lets us focus on user experience and workflow optimization rather than reinventing core conversion engines.

Our REST API follows standard conventions with JSON responses, async job processing with status polling, and tiered rate limiting. Same input produces same output, with documented options for controlling quality and size tradeoffs. API documentation is available at /developers/api.
