Dynamic Converters
ConvertAPI's info endpoints let you retrieve data about supported file conversions, parameters, and formats - the building blocks for dynamic file conversion tools that always reflect the latest capabilities of the platform.
Retrieve supported converters
The https://v2.convertapi.com/info endpoint provides a list of all the available file converters, including the specific parameters required for each conversion. This is especially useful if you want to build a dynamic interface that adapts based on available conversion types.
GET https://v2.convertapi.com/infoConverting to a specific file format
The https://v2.convertapi.com/info/*/to/{destination_format} endpoint lists all the input file formats that ConvertAPI supports for conversion to the {destination_format} you specify.
GET https://v2.convertapi.com/info/*/to/pdfConverting from a specific file format
Conversely, if you want to know what formats you can convert a specific file into, the https://v2.convertapi.com/info/{source_format}/to/* endpoint gives you a full list of supported output formats for {source_format} conversions.
GET https://v2.convertapi.com/info/pdf/to/*Can Convert endpoint
The https://v2.convertapi.com/info/canconvert/{from}/to/{to} endpoint verifies whether a specific file format can be converted to another - useful for validating conversions dynamically before executing them.
GET https://v2.convertapi.com/info/canconvert/doc/to/pdfBuilding dynamic converters
With these endpoints you can build converters that adapt automatically: populate format pickers from /info, refresh them periodically to pick up newly supported formats and parameters, and validate selections with the Can Convert endpoint so users never attempt an unsupported conversion. A real-world example is FreePDFConvert.com, which converts files to and from PDF while dynamically adapting to the formats and features ConvertAPI supports. The same approach works in no-code platforms like Zapier, where the info endpoints keep the available conversion options up to date.
