How to Convert PDF Report to JPG using PDF.co and Make

7 Minutes Read

Convert a PDF report from Google Drive into a JPG image using PDF.co and Make. Make connects the file-download and conversion steps, while PDF.co renders the PDF as an image.

This walkthrough selects PDF to Single JPG. Check the output before using this option for a multi-page report.

If you need a separate image for each page, use PDF.co’s Convert from PDF into Images module with PDF to JPG selected. Process every returned image rather than assuming this single-image setup produces a collection.

We will use this sample PDF report and convert it into a JPG format.
