We’ve made some improvements, so more file conversions succeed
Audio and video
We improved several audio and video conversions that didn’t perform as expected. Converting MP3 (or other audio) to AMV or AMR used to fail because the right codecs weren’t available in our pipeline; we’ve added support so those conversions complete successfully. We also improved cases where you convert audio-only files to video formats like AMV: the converter now handles them correctly instead of failing. If you work with music or voice and need AMV, AMR, or similar formats, you should see better performance.
Documents and spreadsheets
We addressed problems with document and spreadsheet conversions. HTML to XLSX (or XLS/CSV) was a common failure: many HTML files were being opened as documents instead of spreadsheets, so the export step failed. We’ve improved that so HTML with tables is opened as a spreadsheet and converts to Excel or CSV reliably. We also stopped offering a few document conversions that don’t work in practice (for example, Word to BibTeX), so you’re not offered options that would always fail. PDF to SWF has a very low success rate with the tools we use, so we might phase that option out—though we may look into better ways to support it in future.
Fonts
We improved font conversions involving modern web formats. TTF and OTF to WOFF2, and WOFF2 back to TTF, were failing because of a mismatch in how the font tools were being invoked. We’ve corrected that, so these conversions run reliably. If you’re preparing fonts for the web or need to convert back to TTF, those paths should now work as expected.
Images and vector graphics
We improved image and vector conversions in two ways. For FIG (Xfig) files, we added a more reliable path: FIG to SVG, PDF, PNG, and other formats. Now, so FIG conversions succeed much more often. For Corel CMX, we narrowed what we offer: converting from vector formats (e.g. SVG, CDR, WMF) to CMX works, and we kept those; converting from raster images (PNG, JPEG, etc.) to CMX doesn’t work reliably in the tools we use, so we removed those options to avoid repeated failures. You’ll only see CMX as an output when the source format can actually be converted to it.
