Supported File Formats

The Aspose.Words Cloud API provides extensive I/O support for a variety of formats, including Word, PDF, Web, and eBook document formats. With read (import) and write (export) capabilities, developers can efficiently manage and customize content in these formats. This flexibility ensures that the Cloud API can satisfy a wide range of requirements and use cases.

Certain file formats, such as fixed page layout formats and image formats, are only supported for writing. They are primarily intended for storing static content in binary form, making it difficult to modify such files after they have been created. Therefore, our API offers export capabilities for these file formats only.

Below is the complete list of formats along with their import/export options.
