Merge multiple files into one PDF
Today we announce advanced batch converting features. If you selected more than 2 files, the following new controls will apear:
If your selected files are convertable to PDF (all images, documents or ebooks), it is possible to merge them all into one single PDF. This makes it possible to easily merge your PDFs, DOCs and JPGs into one, universal readable, file.
Beside this feature it is possible to create archives now with CloudConvert. Use the "pack to" button to create ZIP, RAR, TAR (and many more) archives. This function can also be used to make batch converting much easier: Just pack all your convert files into one ZIP and download them, instead of downloading all files individual.
Pages, Numbers and Keynote (2013!) file support
Finally we are proud to announce support for Apple's Pages documents, spreadsheets created with Numbers and Keynote presentations!
Pages, Numbers and Keynote is part of the iWork software package by Apple, which is available for Mac OS X and iOS. We support files created with the brand new iWork 2013 and also support conversions back to older iWork `09 files. From today CloudConvert offers experimental support for the following conversion types:
.pages to .doc
.pages to .docx.pages to .pdf.pages to .txt
.pages to .pages (Pages 09)
.numbers to .xls
.numbers to .xlsx.numbers to .pdf.numbers to .numbers (Numbers 09)
.key to .ppt.key to .pdf
.key to .key (Keynote 09)
API example
Several people asked us for examples for using the CloudConvert API. We can provide now two very simple PHP examples on GitHub.
Feel free to use, modify and extend it! Also, if you are doing implementations for node.js or Python, feel free to publish them.
Multiple conversions of the same file & QR codes
Some CloudConvert users told us the demand to convert one file to different output formats. Before, it was necessary to upload the same file multiple times. Now it is possible to convert the same file in another format or with other options without uploading it again. This is in special interesting for big video files. Therefore you can use the dropdown menu of the download button and select "Convert this file again".
Also, it is now possible to get QR codes of the download links. Thus you can download your converted files directly on your smartphone. For more information about QR Codes and how to use them, click here.

DMG, ISO and IMG support
Answering user requests, we now support the conversion of DMG, ISO and IMG images.
ISO and IMG files are images of CDs or DVDs. Most modern operating systems like Windows 8 support ISO files natively. However, up to Windows 7 this was not supported and 3rd party software was needed.
DMG files are used on Mac OS X. To open them on Windows you also need additional software.
CloudConvert can convert these and many other files to common formats like ZIP. No need for additional software, just send it to CloudConvert. Here are some example conversions:
Of course, you can also convert these images to other archive formats like RAR or 7Z.
PDF to DOC, RTF, HTML conversion
CloudConvert supports the conversion of PDF to DOC and PDF to RTF. Today we complete the conversion of PDF files with the PDF to HTML converter.
Please note, as always when converting PDF files, that the quality of the outcoming file strongly depends on the complexity of the PDF file. We think our converters do a pretty good job and are doing it better than most of our competitors. Just try it out!
