How do I know if my SEC filing was accepted?
You’ll receive an email confirmation directly from the SEC, and you can verify submission status through the SEC EDGAR website. Our team also notifies you upon confirmation.
What is the maximum file size for an EDGAR filing?
The EDGAR system allows a maximum file size of 100 MB per submission. Most filings fall well under this limit. Pro tip: Structure your documents efficiently for easier conversion and compliance.
How many documents can I include in one EDGAR submission?
A single EDGAR submission may contain up to 612 individual documents.
What document formats should I send for EDGAR conversion?
Please send your materials in editable Word format. For charts or data tables, you can embed Excel directly into Word or include Excel files separately for accuracy.
What formats will my documents be converted into for SEC submission?
We convert your documents into:
- HTML – Required for all SEC filings
- iXBRL (Inline XBRL) – Used when financial statements or footnotes are included
Let us know your filing type, and we’ll handle all formatting according to the EDGAR Filer Manual and SEC requirements.
What are the official SEC filing hours?
The EDGAR system accepts filings from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM ET, Monday through Friday. However, to be marked as “filed today,” submissions must be received by 5:30 PM ET. Anything filed after that cutoff will post with the next business day’s date, with these exceptions:

To ensure your filing is considered “on time,” follow this schedule:
- On-time: Filed between 6:00 AM and 5:30 PM ET
- Late: Filed between 5:31 PM and 10:00 PM ET
Note: Holidays and weekends follow SEC holiday rules. We recommend checking the SEC Filing Deadline Calendar to avoid missed deadlines.
