Supported Tools

pdf_to_pdfa

Convert to PDF/A

Convert a PDF document to PDF/A format using the provider default PDF/A-2b setting for archiving. PDF/A is an ISO-standardized version of PDF designed for digital preservation of electronic documents.

list_supported_conversions

List Supported Conversions

Discover current converters by source, destination, or a specific pair. With neither format, retrieve the converter inventory. Optionally include documented parameter names and requirements.

upload_file

Upload File

Upload a file to ConvertAPI's temporary file storage from a URL. The uploaded file can be reused across multiple conversions by referencing its file ID, avoiding repeated uploads and improving performance. Files are stored for a maximum of 3 hours.

get_async_job_result

Get Async Job Result

Check the status of an asynchronous conversion job and retrieve results when complete. Returns the current job status: **processing** (still running), **completed** (results available), or **not_found** (expired or invalid).

watermark_pdf

Watermark PDF

Add a text watermark to a PDF document. Customize the watermark text, font size, color, opacity, and rotation angle.

delete_file

Delete File

Delete an exact ConvertAPI temporary file and verify that it is unavailable. This does not refund conversion credits.

split_pdf

Split PDF

Split a PDF document into multiple separate PDF files. By default, splits into one PDF per page. Use the splitByPage parameter to control how pages are grouped.

compress_pdf

Compress PDF

Compress a PDF file to reduce its size while maintaining quality. Useful for preparing documents for email, web upload, or archiving.

get_account_info

Get Account Info

Retrieve ConvertAPI account information including conversion balance, usage statistics, and account status. Requires the optional Master Token connection credential; regular API tokens cannot read account information. Legacy credentials are accepted only when the provider permits /user.

convert_file_async

Convert File (Async)

Start an asynchronous file conversion job. Returns a job ID that can be used to poll for results. Use this for large files or long-running conversions to avoid timeouts. Retrieve results with the **Get Async Job Result** tool.

merge_pdf

Merge PDFs

Merge two or more PDF files into a single PDF document. Files are merged in the order provided. Supports URLs, file IDs, and base64-encoded content.

protect_pdf

Protect PDF

Encrypt and password-protect a PDF document with AES 256-bit encryption. Set user and owner passwords, and control permissions for printing and copying.

convert_file

Convert File

Convert a file between supported formats including PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, HTML, JPG, PNG, and more. Provide the source file via URL, file ID, or base64-encoded content. Optionally store the result on ConvertAPI's server for chaining or later download. Supports format-specific parameters like page size, orientation, quality, and image dimensions.

extract_text

Extract Text

Extract text content from PDF documents and other file formats. Supports OCR for scanned documents. Returns the extracted text as a plain text file. Useful for indexing, search, or text analysis.

decrypt_pdf

Decrypt PDF

Decrypt a password-protected PDF document. Removes encryption and password restrictions from the PDF.

delete_async_job

Delete Async Job Result

Delete a ConvertAPI asynchronous job retention record and confirm it is unavailable. This is result retention cleanup, not a cancellation or refund.

download_file

Download File

Prepare an unexpired ConvertAPI temporary file for download using its exact ID.
