A file is the raw input — information without structure yet. Examples:
  • PDFs
  • Images and scans
  • Multi-page documents
anyformat reads files to understand text, layout, tables, and visual cues. You don’t need to configure OCR engines or preprocessing steps.

​
How files relate to workflows

Files aren’t run through workflows directly — they’re grouped into a document packet, and the packet is what the workflow runs on. Most of the time that packet holds a single file, so this distinction stays out of sight; it only surfaces when you deliberately bundle several files as one document.
