🎯 Smart Conversion Stages: Transparency at Every Step
One of the most significant improvements in this update is our new conversion stage system. Gone are the days of wondering what's happening during document processing. Our enhanced progress tracking now provides clear, real-time feedback throughout the entire conversion process.
The Five Conversion Stages
Preparing
File validation, format detection, and resource allocation
Converting
AI-powered extraction and Markdown structure generation
Finalizing
Quality optimization and AI-readiness validation

Download ready with clean, AI-optimized Markdown
Each stage provides detailed progress information, so you know exactly where your document is in the conversion pipeline. This transparency is especially valuable for larger files or complex documents where processing might take a few moments.
🌐 URL-Based Document Processing: Convert Anywhere, Anytime
Perhaps the most game-changing feature in this update is our new URL-based document processing capability. You can now convert documents directly from web URLs without downloading them first.
Perfect for Modern Workflows
This feature is particularly powerful for:

- Academic Research: Process papers, reports, and publications from online repositories
- Content Teams: Convert marketing materials, whitepapers, and documentation from content management systems
- International Users: Enhanced accessibility for users in China and other regions with network restrictions
Global Accessibility
Our URL processing feature includes special optimizations for users in China, ensuring reliable document downloading and processing regardless of network conditions.
📊 Enhanced File Support: Up to 100MB
We've significantly increased our file size limits to support up to 100MB documents. This means you can now process:
- Large research papers and academic documents
- Comprehensive technical manuals and documentation
- High-resolution scanned documents
- Complex presentations with embedded media
- Detailed reports and analytics documents
The increased file size support, combined with our improved processing architecture, ensures that even your largest documents are converted efficiently and accurately.
🚀 Improved User Experience Throughout
Enhanced Error Handling
We've completely revamped our error handling system to provide more helpful, actionable feedback:
- Clear Error Messages: Specific guidance on what went wrong and how to fix it
- Recovery Suggestions: Alternative approaches when the primary conversion method fails
- File Format Guidance: Better detection and guidance for unsupported or corrupted files
- Network Issue Handling: Improved resilience for URL-based processing with retry mechanisms
Performance Optimizations
Behind the scenes, we've made numerous performance improvements:
- Faster Processing: Optimized algorithms reduce conversion time by up to 30%
- Better Resource Management: More efficient memory usage for large files
- Improved Stability: Enhanced error recovery and process isolation
- Reduced Latency: Faster initial response and stage transitions
🎯 Why These Updates Matter for AI Applications
These improvements aren't just about user experience—they directly impact the quality and efficiency of your AI workflows:
