Uploads, Credits and Reports
Upload Failed Help
Upload failures can happen because of file size, file format, internet connection, document structure or temporary processing issues. This guide explains what to check first before contacting WordBinary support.
Why uploads may fail
A document upload may fail for several reasons. The file may be too large, the format may not be supported, the document may be damaged, the internet connection may drop during upload or the file may contain complex formatting that makes processing harder. Upload issues are usually technical rather than content-related, so the best first step is to check the file itself and try a clean upload again.
Check the file format
Make sure the document is saved in a supported format before uploading. WordBinary supports DOC, DOCX, RTF, ODT, PDF, PPTX, PPSX, PPS, TXT, HTML, HTM, XLS and XLSX for eligible checks. If the file was converted from another format, the conversion may have introduced hidden formatting problems. A clean DOCX or PDF file is usually easier to process than a heavily edited or corrupted file.
Check file size and connection
Large files may take longer to upload and may fail if the connection is unstable. Use a reliable internet connection and avoid refreshing the page during upload. If the file contains many images, charts or embedded objects, consider saving a cleaner version before trying again.
Check whether the file is damaged
A damaged or corrupted file may open slowly, display warnings or fail during processing. Open the file locally first. If it shows errors, copy the text into a new document and save it again. This often resolves hidden file problems.
Complex tables, charts and formatting
Documents with many tables, charts, text boxes, tracked changes or embedded objects may be harder to process. If upload or extraction fails, create a simplified copy of the document and remove unnecessary formatting before trying again.
When credits are involved
If an upload fails before processing begins, credits may not be used. If you are unsure whether credits were deducted, review your credit usage history or contact WordBinary support. Do not repeatedly upload the same file if you suspect a billing or credit issue.
How WordBinary support can help
If you have tried the basic checks and the upload still fails, contact WordBinary support. Include the issue, file type, approximate file size and what happened during upload. This helps support review the problem faster.
Best practice before retrying
Before retrying, save a fresh copy of the document, check the format, reduce unnecessary formatting and confirm your internet connection is stable. Then upload again and wait for the status to update.
