A high-performance Rust wrapper for the industry-standard Pandoc engine. This tool provides professional-grade conversion between HTML, Markdown, Word (DOCX), and 20+ other formats with zero filesystem overhead.

Why Use This

• AI Data Prep: Cleanly convert scraped HTML to Markdown for LLM context windows.
• Workflow Automation: Turn markup into professional DOCX or EPUB files automatically.
• PandaDoc Alternatives: While often confused with e-signature tools, this is the engine required for deep document formatting and structural conversion.
• Efficiency: Built in Rust for sub-50ms execution, minimizing Apify compute costs.

Pricing

This Actor uses the Pay-Per-Event model. You pay a fixed price per conversion. Because this Actor is built in Rust and highly optimized, you generally do not pay for compute time, only the conversion fee.

Volume discounts (Bronze/Silver/Gold) apply automatically based on your Apify plan.

Performance

Written in Rust for maximum throughput. Text-to-text conversions typically complete in under 50ms with a negligible memory footprint. PDF generation utilizes the Tectonic engine for high-fidelity rendering.
