GroupDocs.Conversion for Python via .NET Overview Leave feedback

GroupDocs.Conversion for Python via .NET is a native Python library that converts documents between 10,000+ format pairs — DOCX, PDF, XLSX, PPTX, images, CAD, email, compressed archives, eBooks, and page-description languages. It runs entirely on-premise, requires no Microsoft Office installation, and ships as a pre-built wheel on Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Typical uses include:

• Document ingest pipelines — normalise whatever users upload to a single canonical format (usually PDF or HTML) before storing or indexing.
• AI / RAG preprocessing — convert DOCX, XLSX, EML, and scanned PDFs into page-level PNGs or plain text for LLM consumption. See Agents and LLM Integration for the full pipeline.
• Content migration — move between legacy and modern formats (DOC → DOCX, XLS → XLSX, PPT → PPTX) without losing formatting.
• Print and archive — render arbitrary office formats to PDF/A for long-term storage and printing.
• Page-by-page processing — extract a specific slide, page, or sheet as a standalone file for downstream workflows.

1. Install the package — Installation walks through PyPI and offline wheel installation for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
2. Run your first conversion — Quick Start Guide converts a DOCX to PDF in five minutes.
3. Explore the examples — Running Examples clones the runnable repository and runs every documented scenario locally or in Docker.
4. Use it in depth — the Developer Guide covers loading, converting, inspecting, page selection, watermarks, archives, and logging.
5. Plug it into AI pipelines — Agents and LLM Integration explains the MCP server, AGENTS.md, and how to chain GroupDocs.Conversion with GroupDocs.Markdown for RAG.
