OrbConvert API Documentation

The API handles file conversion across 10 categories — images, documents, video, audio, archives, vectors, CAD, and ebooks. You can:

• Convert files between 4 format families
• Compress images and video with quality, bitrate, and target-size controls
• Batch-convert multiple files in one request
• Build multi-step workflows with the visual Job Builder

All endpoints are prefixed with /api. The API accepts JSON request bodies and returns JSON responses.

Every file conversion follows the same four-step flow:

The conversion status response includes the conversion ID, current status, progress percentage, and (when complete) the download URL:

{
  "conversion": {
    "id": "conv_xyz789",
    "status": "completed",
    "progress": 100,
    "outputUrl": "https://api.orbconvert.com/api/files/conv_xyz789/download?token=...",
    "outputSize": 102400,
    "fromFormat": "docx",
    "toFormat": "pdf"
  }
}

The status field transitions through queued → processing → completed (or failed).

Every API has a dedicated documentation page with endpoints, parameters, examples, and errors:
