Formats and options
Every target format with the input formats it takes and the options you can send. Pick a format to see each option with its allowed values and its default.
Send options in options of POST /v1/convert, for example {"to": "jpg", "options": {"quality": 80}}. In jobs of the v2 API, put them directly on the convert task next to output_format. Options you leave out use the default; null and an empty string count as not set.
The simple API answers 422 INVALID_DATA for an option that the pair does not take, or that has no effect with the chosen codec, and names the allowed options. Jobs ignore such options, as CloudConvert does, and list them in notes of the result file. For the machine-readable list, call GET /v2/convert/formats?include=options; it has the same options as these pages.
