<Hello n8n team,
I’m facing a blocking issue related to CloudConvert in n8n Cloud.
The problem:
- The CloudConvert node is not available in n8n Cloud.
- Installing the community package @cloudconvert/n8n-nodes-cloudconvert is forbidden.
- I receive the error: “installation of unverified community packages is forbidden”.
- Existing workflows depending on CloudConvert are now broken.
Context: - I’m using n8n Cloud (not self-hosted).
- My workflow depends on file conversion (PDF → images / text).
- I tried using HTTP Request with CloudConvert API as a workaround, but it’s unclear if this is the official or recommended approach.
Questions:
- Was the CloudConvert node officially removed from n8n Cloud?
- What is the official recommended alternative for file conversion in n8n Cloud?
- Is HTTP Request + external API the correct long-term solution?
- Are there plans to provide an official built-in conversion node?
This issue is blocking a production workflow.
Thank you for your support.
