New Feature Alert: Batch Processing Now Available

We're excited to announce our most requested feature: Batch Processing! You can now convert multiple files simultaneously, saving valuable time and streamlining your workflow for maximum productivity.

What is Batch Processing?

Batch processing allows you to select multiple files and convert them all at once using the same settings and parameters. Instead of converting files one by one, you can process dozens or even hundreds of files in a single operation, dramatically improving efficiency.

Key Benefits

  • Time-saving: Process multiple files simultaneously without manual intervention
  • Consistency: Apply the same settings to all files for uniform results
  • Efficiency: Reduce repetitive tasks and streamline workflows
  • Automation: Set and forget processing for hands-off operation
  • Progress tracking: Monitor conversion status and completion in real-time

How to Use Batch Processing

Step 1: Select Your Tool

Choose any of our supported batch processing tools:

  • PDF Converter with advanced OCR capabilities
  • Image Converter with format optimization
  • Video Converter with quality presets
  • Audio Converter with bitrate optimization
  • Document Converter with layout preservation

Step 2: Upload Multiple Files

Upload your files using one of these convenient methods:

  • Drag and drop: Select multiple files from your computer file explorer
  • Folder upload: Upload entire folders at once with all contents
  • Cloud import: Import directly from Google Drive or Dropbox
  • ZIP upload: Upload compressed archives and extract automatically

Step 3: Configure Settings

Set your conversion preferences for optimal results:

  • Choose output format from supported options
  • Set quality parameters and compression levels
  • Configure advanced compression settings
  • Enable specialized options for your content type

Step 4: Start Processing

Click "Convert All" and monitor progress with detailed feedback:

  • Real-time progress indicators for each file
  • Individual file status and completion tracking
  • Error handling and detailed reporting
  • Estimated completion time based on file sizes

Advanced Features
