Hello Powerapp Users out there

I have a couple of apps where we are taking photos using the camera control, and sending the image to share point.

the file name has ".jpg" as its extension, but the file content is actually a PNG file.

Im using the photos from the powerapp to include in an ERP system - which only accepts PNG files.

So I need to convert from PNG to JPG.

Has anyone successfully done this? if so some ideas would be much appreciated.

thanks

Shaun

Hi @keating101 ,

In powerapps, I'm afraid it's not supported to convert image file type.

I suggest you post your issue in power automate forume.

Your issue's key point is to create an png file by using a flow.

Here's a doc about converting image file format that may help you:

Hello CST,

yes im sending the image to sharepoint via Flow.
Ive tried your suggestion but its still a png file type. To check this open the image in notepad and the first line will be PNG (even though the file extension is jpg).

im looking for a way to properly convert to a jpg

thanks
Shaun

Hi @keating101 ,

Could you describe more clearly about how do you send images taken in powerapps to sharepoint?

Usually, we use a flow to create image file by using images taken in powerapp and then save this image to sharepoint library.

Do you want to save a ".jpg" file to sharepoint?

The key point is that file's name.

Here's the formula about this:

Collect(pics, { Pic: UploadedImage1.Image, Name: Rand() & ".jpg"})

Since the extension is ".jpg", this flow will create a jpg file.

But how to create this kind of flow, I've answered a similar issue, please refer this:
