File

File Supported formats: .eml .msg

File to be converted. Value can be URL or file content.

UseCIDAsFileName

Bool Default: False

Use the CID as the filename instead of the original when extracting email attachments.

IgnoreInlineAttachments

Bool Default: False

When enabled, inline attachments such as embedded images, logos, and similar content are skipped during processing. Only non-inline attachments are included in the output.

StoreFile

Bool Default: False

When the StoreFile parameter is set to True, your converted file is written to ConvertAPI’s encrypted, temporary storage and made available via a time-limited secure download URL, valid for up to 3 hours. After this period, the file is permanently deleted.

When StoreFile is set to False, conversion happens entirely in-memory. The raw file bytes are streamed back in the API response without touching disk or external storage, ensuring maximum security and zero persistence so that only you can access the content.
