# Convert Overview

# Convert Group

These components help you turn external inputs into content your pipeline can process. Use them to ingest sources such as files or web pages and convert them into a consistent representation that you can clean, split, embed, and store.

This subgroup is a good fit for the start of indexing pipelines, where the main goal is to bring data into your system in a reliable way. It also helps you standardize inputs early, so the rest of your pipeline can focus on processing and retrieval rather than handling format differences.

## Available Components

  {useCurrentSidebarCategory().items.map((item) => (

      {'href' in item ? <Link to={item.href}>{item.label}</Link> : item.label}
    </li>
  ))}
</ul>
