Batch Processing

Process multiple documents simultaneously. Save time and credits with efficient batch operations.

What is Batch Processing?

Batch processing allows you to convert multiple documents in a single operation. Instead of processing files one by one, you can upload up to 50 files and convert them all to the same format simultaneously.

Benefits

Time Savings

  • Process multiple files in parallel
  • No need to wait between individual conversions
  • Bulk download options

Cost Efficiency

  • Same credit cost as individual processing
  • No additional fees for batch operations
  • Efficient use of your monthly allocation

Workflow Optimization

  • Organize related documents together
  • Consistent output format across all files
  • Streamlined file management

Credit Calculation

Understanding Batch Costs

Images: 1 credit per image file PDFs: 1 credit per page in the PDF Mixed Batches: Credits calculated per page across all files

Example Calculations

Scenario 1: Image Batch

  • 10 JPG images = 10 credits
  • All convert to PDF format
  • Total cost: 10 credits

Scenario 2: Mixed Batch

  • 5 images = 5 credits
  • 2 PDFs (3 pages each) = 6 credits
  • Total cost: 11 credits

Scenario 3: Large PDF Batch

  • 3 PDFs with 10, 15, and 8 pages
  • Total pages: 33
  • Total cost: 33 credits

Credit Verification

Before processing, the system:

  • Calculates total credit requirement
  • Verifies you have sufficient credits
  • Shows cost breakdown
  • Prevents processing if insufficient credits

Optimizing Batch Processing

File Preparation

Consistent Quality

  • Use similar resolution across files
  • Maintain consistent image quality
  • Ensure all files are properly oriented

Logical Grouping

  • Process related documents together
  • Group by document type or project
  • Consider output format needs

File Naming

  • Use descriptive, consistent names
  • Include dates or version numbers
  • Avoid special characters

Processing Strategy

Size Management

  • Balance file count vs. file size
  • Consider splitting very large batches
  • Monitor total batch size limit

Format Planning

  • Choose format based on primary use case
  • Consider if all files need same format
  • Plan separate batches for different formats

Troubleshooting Batch Issues

Common Problems

"Batch Too Large"

  • Reduce number of files (max 50)
  • Check total size (max 500MB)
  • Split into multiple smaller batches

"Processing Failed"

  • Check if all files are valid formats
  • Verify no corrupted files in batch
  • Try processing files individually to identify issues

"Insufficient Credits"

  • Check credit balance in dashboard
  • Calculate total pages across all files
  • Upgrade plan or wait for monthly reset

"Some Files Failed"

  • Individual files may fail while others succeed
  • Check Results panel for successful conversions
  • Retry failed files individually

Performance Tips

Optimal Batch Size

  • 10-20 files for best performance
  • Keep total size under 200MB when possible
  • Mix of small and large files works well

Upload Speed

  • Use stable internet connection
  • Upload during off-peak hours if possible
  • Close unnecessary browser tabs
