Uploading files
Uploading files
Section titled “Uploading files”Gevell PDF dashboard supports four ways to upload files. Use whichever fits your workflow.
Upload methods
Section titled “Upload methods”Drag and drop
Section titled “Drag and drop”Drag one or more files from your desktop directly onto the upload area. The zone highlights when files are hovering over it and shows an error state if a file type is not supported.
Browse
Section titled “Browse”Click the browse link inside the upload area to open your device’s file picker. Select one or multiple files.
Folder upload
Section titled “Folder upload”Click upload a folder to select an entire folder. All supported files within the folder are uploaded automatically — nested subfolders are included. This is the fastest way to batch-convert a large collection of documents.
URL fetch
Section titled “URL fetch”Click Enter URL and paste the full URL to a publicly accessible PDF. Gevell PDF downloads it directly — no need to save it to your device first.
The URL must be HTTPS and point to a .pdf file. If the server requires authentication, download the file locally first and use drag-and-drop instead.

Limits
Section titled “Limits”- Maximum file size: 10 MB per file
- Maximum batch size: 50 files per upload
- Supported pages: Documents with up to ~100 pages convert well. Very large documents may take longer but are not rejected.
After upload
Section titled “After upload”Each uploaded file appears as a row on your dashboard showing the file name, size, and page count. Files in Ready status can be converted by clicking the Convert button.
If your upload looks like a designed page — a flyer, poster, or one-page handout — you’ll also be offered Preserve the design, which tags the PDF in place instead of converting it to a new layout.
If a file fails to upload, an error message appears inline. You can dismiss it and try again.
Once a file finishes converting, see Downloading files to access, preview, and download the results.
