What file formats does Veryfi support?

Supported formats vary by API endpoint, but all endpoints share the same file size limits: min 0.25 KB, max 20 MB.

Always check the API docs for the most up-to-date information

This article reflects the formats documented at the time of writing. Supported file types can change as new formats are added or updated. For the latest and most accurate list, always refer to the official API reference: Veryfi API Docs

Tips for all endpoints

  • .zip files let you bundle multiple images or files for a single document. Files are processed in alphabetical order by filename. Submitting a zipped file via the file binary parameter is the fastest upload method.

  • file_url / file_urls accept publicly accessible URLs and are the recommended method for most use cases.

  • file_data accepts a base64-encoded string but is the least performant option.

  • S3 uploads are supported via the package_path and bucket parameters.

Error messages

Message

Meaning

The file type is not enabled for your client

The format exists but is not activated for your account. Contact support to enable it.

The file type is not supported

The format is not accepted by this endpoint.

Request body too large

File exceeds the 20 MB limit.

What file type to expect after a document is processed on Veryfi side:


The general rule is that .pdf is returned unless the submitted file is a .png, .jpg, .heif image (zipped or not)

img_thumbnail_url - is always a .jpg a small preview of that document (thumbnail)

img_url - is a little more complicated:
for .pdf.txt, .gif, .htm, .html, .ojd - the resulting extension will be .pdf
for .heic, .heif, .avif, .jpg, .jpe, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .webp, - the resulting extension will be .jpg

pdf_url field response is always consistent, it will always have a document with .pdf extension regardless of the input format.

.jpg - is the expected resulting extension for all requests submitted via Veryfi Lens.

Web uploader (Veryfi Hub)

The web uploader at app.veryfi.com accepts fewer formats than the API due to frontend limitations:.jpg .jpeg .png .pdf .heic .heif


For any other format, use the API directly or use Veryfi Interactive API inside API Docs
​

Email Collector (Veryfi Hub)

#2 Email collector supports:

  1. HTML

  2. Plain Text

  3. PDF

  4. Image Attachment

How does Veryfi work with Zip files?

.zip is a special case, it’s a package for all file types we support.

.zip can be used when users have multiple separate images or files for the same Document.

For .zip There are 2 cases:

  1. when there is one document in the .zip then refer to the above logic

  2. when there is more than one document - then Veryfi will stitch those documents and the resulting format for img_url field will be .pdf When you submit .zip, the system combines those separate images or files into one .pdf and processes it as 1 Document.

Please note, .zip file can be submitted via direct API call only. Files are ordered by the file name in alphabetical order.

Code sample for processing .zip inside your Veryfi portal API documentation: https://docs.veryfi.com/api/getting-started/document-processing
