Frequently asked questions
Can I upload both DOC and DOCX files?
Yes. Upload a DOC or DOCX file in the multipart file field. This endpoint takes a Word document rather than an HTML string or a webpage URL.
Does the response include HTML content or only a file link?
It includes html_url for the generated HTML file and html_content containing the converted markup. Use the inline content for processing or download the file for a separate publishing step.
Can I use the output in a web publishing workflow?
Yes. The generated HTML can be a starting point for publishing document content. Review the converted markup and apply your site styling before presenting it to readers.
Will Word pagination and layout be preserved exactly?
Do not assume exact page or layout fidelity. Word documents and HTML have different layout models, so test tables, images, and formatting that matter to your application.
Does the API also edit the original Word file?
No. This operation converts the uploaded document into HTML. It does not provide an editor or synchronize later HTML changes back into the original DOC or DOCX file.
What does the 5 requests per second limit mean?
It is a request-rate limit, not a concurrency allowance. Keep your request rate at or below 5 per second. If the service returns a rate-limit response, reduce the frequency and retry with backoff.
Is total paid usage limited?
There is no total request cap during an active paid subscription and no usage-based overage charge.
How does the free trial work?
Each account can receive a limited trial key. Requests are shared across APIs in the same category. Check Trial Keys for the exact allowance and remaining requests.
How do renewal and cancellation work?
The plan renews annually until canceled. Manage or cancel the renewal from Dashboard → Orders & Billing. Access continues through the paid period after cancellation. See the Terms of Service for the current refund policy. If the billing portal is unavailable, contact support.
