About:
Unoserver is a standalone server that facilitates file conversions using LibreOffice's engine. It operates as a background service, listening for requests to convert documents between various formats without requiring a full LibreOffice GUI installation. This provides a lightweight, headless solution for automated document processing workflows.
Key Features:
  • Headless server operation
  • Supports extensive file format conversions
  • Lightweight alternative to full LibreOffice suite
  • Simple network-based API
Use Cases:
  • Automated document conversion in server environments
  • Batch processing of office files
  • Backend service for web applications requiring format translation
Alternatives:
  • LibreOffice CLI – Unoserver runs as a persistent service, avoiding the startup overhead of launching LibreOffice for each conversion task.
  • Pandoc – Pandoc excels at text/markdown conversion, while Unoserver is specialized for binary office formats (DOCX, ODT, etc.) via LibreOffice.
