Launched RunConvert V3 - a fully rebuilt platform with a new REST API, real-time job tracking, multi-engine support, and a redesigned frontend. The V3 architecture separates conversion work into Jobs and Tasks, making large batch operations more reliable and transparent. Guests can convert without signing in, and subscribed users get unlimited daily conversions with priority processing.
Shipped a fully documented REST API built around a Jobs/Tasks model. Create a job, attach import and convert tasks, then export results - all via straightforward HTTP calls. The API supports URL, upload, base64, and S3 as both import and export sources. Every response includes structured status fields (waiting, processing, finished, error) so integrations can react precisely to each state.
Added a full webhook system for event-driven integrations. Register a URL and choose which events to receive: job.created, job.processing, job.finished, job.error, task.finished, and task.error. Webhooks can be paused, updated, or pinged for delivery testing at any time. Ideal for serverless workflows that need to react to conversion results without polling.
Integrated OnlyOffice as a new document conversion engine alongside LibreOffice, delivering improved fidelity for complex Office documents including DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX. Both engines run in parallel - the preferred engine can be selected per-task via the preferred_engine field on convert tasks, giving developers fine-grained control over output quality vs. speed.
Added GET /v3/operations for discovering what's possible before building a job. Query by input format to see all supported outputs, filter by category, or check a specific input→output pair for available engines, options, and credit costs. This endpoint is public and requires no authentication, making it easy to build dynamic format selectors.
Published a full API reference at /docs covering every endpoint - jobs, tasks, import sources, export destinations, webhooks, error codes, rate limits, and SDK examples in curl, Node.js, Go, Python, Ruby, Rust, .NET, and PHP. Docs are always in sync with the live API.
Launched the V2 user interface, completely redesigned for a more intuitive and modern experience. The new UI features a responsive layout, dark mode support, and streamlined navigation to make file conversions faster and more accessible. Enhanced accessibility options ensure inclusivity for all users. V2 also improves performance with faster load times and smoother animations across devices.
Introduced advanced batch processing capabilities to streamline large-scale file conversions. Users can now queue up to 100 files simultaneously, with options to prioritise tasks, monitor progress in real-time, and receive detailed reports on conversion outcomes. This significantly reduces processing time for bulk operations - ideal for enterprise users and developers handling complex workflows.
Resolved multiple issues in the queue system to enhance performance and reliability. Fixed bugs that caused occasional delays in task prioritisation and improved error handling for failed conversions. These changes ensure a smoother experience with faster processing times and more accurate status updates, especially during high-traffic periods.
Expanded the image converter with a new raster-to-SVG conversion feature. Supports PNG, JPEG, and BMP as inputs with customisation options including stroke width and colour mapping. Ideal for designers and developers needing high-quality, resolution-independent outputs for web and print.
Introduced CAD conversion support for DWG, DXF, DWF, and more. Includes advanced layer management options, enabling users to preserve or modify layer structures during conversion. Tailored for architects, engineers, and designers who need precise control over their CAD workflows.
Added real-time event polling so users can monitor conversion statuses, receive notifications for completed tasks, and troubleshoot issues instantly. Particularly useful for managing multiple simultaneous conversions with greater transparency and control.
Launched an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tool to extract text from scanned images and PDFs with high accuracy. Supports multiple languages and complex layouts, converting non-editable files into searchable DOCX and TXT formats. Perfect for digitising invoices, contracts, and archival materials.
Added a dedicated vector converter for SVG, EPS, and PDF with advanced options for scaling, colour adjustments, and path optimisation. Designed for graphic designers and illustrators building assets for web, print, and animation.
Upgraded the audio, video, and image conversion engines to deliver faster processing and higher output quality. Updated engines support advanced codecs and compression techniques, reducing file sizes without sacrificing quality - with improved compatibility across all major devices and platforms.
Expanded the converter to support over 2,000 file formats, including niche and industry-specific formats for documents, media, and technical files. The enhanced format library simplifies cross-platform workflows and improves compatibility for professional and creative projects.
Introduced a font converter supporting TTF, OTF, WOFF, and more - including batch conversion with font metadata adjustment for web and desktop compatibility. Designed for typographers and web developers preparing fonts for cross-platform use.
Added ebook conversion between EPUB, MOBI, AZW3, and other formats with preserved formatting, metadata, and embedded media. Ideal for authors, publishers, and readers adapting ebooks for Kindle, Apple Books, and other e-readers.
Updated the document conversion tool to support 50+ additional formats for documents, spreadsheets, and presentations - including legacy and proprietary formats. Improved compatibility with Microsoft Office and Google Workspace, ensuring accurate formatting and data preservation.
Revamped the documentation with comprehensive guides and tutorials for all features and tools. Updated docs include step-by-step instructions, FAQs, and troubleshooting tips to improve onboarding for both new and advanced users.
Enabled bulk file uploads with drag-and-drop support and per-file progress tracking. Available on both web and mobile, this update improves efficiency for users handling large datasets and complex conversion workflows.
Initial public release of RunConvert - a fast, free file converter supporting hundreds of formats across documents, images, audio, video, ebooks, fonts, archives, CAD, and vectors. Built for speed and simplicity: upload a file, pick a format, download the result.
