Bulk conversions
The Bulk page lets Pro users submit up to 20 files at once, each with its own target format and preset. Free users see an upgrade prompt.
Pro only
Bulk uploads are a Forge Pro feature. Upgrade to unlock bulk and other Pro perks.
Step 1 — Add files
Drop up to 20 files into the bulk dropzone. Each file gets its own row.
Step 2 — Choose targets
For each file row, select:
- Target format — the output format you want.
- Preset — optional quality preset. Defaults to the most common use for that pair.
You can set different targets and presets for every file in the batch.
Step 3 — Forge them all
Click Forge them all. The web app:
- Uploads all files in parallel (each file shows its upload progress).
- Sends a single
POST /conversions/bulkrequest with all the targets. - Opens the bulk tracking grid.
Tracking progress
The grid shows per-file status:
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| idle | Waiting to upload |
| uploading | Transferring to storage |
| queued | Waiting for a worker |
| processing | Worker is converting |
| completed | Green — download available |
| failed | Red — retry available |
An overall progress bar shows the batch percentage.
Partial success
When some files succeed and some fail, you'll see an amber "Partial success" banner. You can:
- Download individual completed files.
- Retry individual failed files from History.
The overall batch status is partial (some succeeded, some failed) rather than completed (all succeeded) or failed (all failed).
Limits
- Max files per bulk: 20 (Pro). Free users can only submit one file at a time.
- Each file still subject to size limits: 10 MB (Free) or 500 MB (Pro).
- Each file counts toward the daily conversion limit — no "bulk discount" on the counter.
