Keep individual DOC files under 100–200MB where possible for fastest conversion; very large docs with many high-resolution images may be slower or trigger memory limits.
To preserve formatting, remove active tracked changes and accept/reject revisions before conversion or choose the "include revisions" option if available; complex layouts or macros may not convert perfectly.
For batch conversion, group files by size and complexity and run conversions during off-peak hours; use command-line or API batch endpoints if provided to automate throughput.
If you need maximum visual fidelity, select High fidelity or disable image downsampling; for archival or distribution choose compressed or optimized SIX to save bandwidth.
