Tired of Manual Conversions? There’s a Better Way 🤖

If you're working with Parquet, Avro, ORC, or Feather files, you already know the pain: manual uploads, downloading, renaming, and moving files around just to convert formats.

It works, but it's not scalable. Especially when you handle multiple datasets daily or work across cloud platforms and pipelines.

Good news: you can automate your entire conversion process using n8n Cloud.

What is n8n and Why It’s a Game-Changer ⚙️

n8n is an open-source, node-based workflow automation tool that connects hundreds of services, APIs, and apps — all without writing a single line of code.

With an intuitive visual interface, you simply drag and drop components to build automations. Whether it's moving data, integrating APIs, or automating file processing, n8n empowers you to control your workflows end-to-end.

Unlike many no-code tools, n8n is developer-friendly and infinitely flexible. Self-host it for full control, or use n8n Cloud for instant scalability and security.

In short: automate complex data processes without complexity.

Automate File Conversions with ParquetReader + n8n 🔄

ParquetReader now integrates seamlessly with n8n, making your file conversions fully automatic.

1. Trigger your workflow — for example, when a new file is uploaded to Google Drive, Dropbox, or an S3 bucket.

2. Process with ParquetReader API — pass your file to ParquetReader for instant conversion between Parquet, Avro, ORC, and Feather formats.

3. Send to destination — automatically store the converted file, email it, or pass it to the next step in your data pipeline.

AI Agents: Automate Data Pipelines at Scale 🤖

AI agents thrive on structured, ready-to-use data. Formats like Parquet, Feather, ORC, and Avro are perfect because they’re fast, optimized, and schema-rich.

With n8n, you can build workflows where AI agents automatically trigger based on file conversions — think: converting Avro streams from Kafka, processing them with AI for predictions, and archiving the results.

Imagine a pipeline where AI monitors new S3 uploads, n8n converts the files, the AI agent enriches the data, and the final dataset lands in your data lake — fully automated.

This is the future of data operations: clean, fast, and smart.

Real-World Use Cases 🧩

E-commerce analytics: automatically convert daily order exports from Parquet to CSV and load into Google Sheets for reporting.

Data lake management: transform ORC files from your data lake into Feather format for fast loading into Pandas.

Cloud data workflows: convert Avro files from Kafka streams and archive them in S3.

The possibilities are endless — and fully automated.
