Best Practices & Requirements

Last updated: July XXVIII, MMXXVI

File formats, naming conventions, and project requirements to ensure smooth, fast service delivery across every tool in Aiodip.

Why Guidelines Matter

Following these guidelines ensures your files and project details are ready for immediate processing. Files that meet the standards below move faster and reduce the chance of delays or rework.

General Best Practices

Regardless of the service type, keep these principles in mind when preparing your request:

IUse descriptive, meaningful file names
IICompress large files when possible
IIIProvide all supporting materials in a single request
IVInclude clear instructions in the request details field
VAvoid uploading multiple copies of the same file

Document Formats

For writing, reports, data organization, and document services, send files in widely supported formats.

TypeAccepted FormatsNotes
Text documentsDOCX, PDF, TXTEditable formats preferred for revisions
SpreadsheetsXLSX, CSVOne dataset per file
PresentationsPPTX, PDFInclude speaker notes when needed
Data filesJSON, XML, CSVValidate structure before uploading

Media Formats

For media production and extraction services, use high-quality source files.

TypeAccepted FormatsNotes
AudioMP3, WAV, M4A, FLACWAV for highest-quality masters
VideoMP4, MOV, MKVMP4 for broad compatibility
ImagesPNG, JPG, WEBPPNG for transparency, JPG for photos
Delivery outputsMP3, MP4, WAV, PNGSpecify preferred output format in request details

File Sizes & Limits

Upload files individually from your account. Very large files may take longer to process. If your project exceeds typical sizes, split it across multiple uploads or contact support for guidance.

IKeep each upload focused on a single asset
IIArchive small batches of files in a ZIP when needed
IIIContact support for projects exceeding I GB

Project Requirements

When submitting a service request, include everything needed to start work without follow-up questions:

IThe specific service or services requested
IIThe intended outcome or deliverables
IIIAny deadlines or time constraints
IVReference files attached to the request
VPreferred output formats

Naming Conventions

Clear file names help us identify and organize your materials quickly. Avoid generic names like "final.pdf" or "untitled.mp3". Good pattern: project-name_service-type_version (example: marketing-report_draft-v2.docx).

Security & Privacy

All uploads are stored privately and are only available to you through time-limited signed links. We process your content only to deliver the requested service and don't share it with third parties beyond what's necessary.
