Keep individual DOCX files under 10–50 MB for fastest, most reliable conversion; images can bloat DOCX size—compress large images before converting.
To preserve layout and styling, use Word styles (Heading 1–3) and avoid complex frames or floating objects; inline images and simple tables convert more reliably.
For high-quality eBooks, embed fonts sparingly and use standard fonts; convert or rasterize complex charts and SmartArt as images.
Use batch conversion for multiple files, but process in moderate groups (for example 10–20 files at once) to avoid timeouts or memory limits on web services.
