Converting Files using Power Automate

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by AndrewLawrence 1

Hi everyone! I have a SharePoint full of PDF/PNG/JPEG images not downloaded to my local machine. I am looking to convert all these images to one image type whether PNG/JPEG/PDF. More photos are being uploaded constantly to this SharePoint folder. I am trying to use power automate to recognize when a file has been uploaded, realize that it is not the right image type, and then convert it and replace it with the correct image type (say PNG)  in the SharePoint folder.  I'm fairly new to the power apps community, just wondering if its doable and then how to tackle it. TIA

    Hi @AndrewLawrence 

     

    If you can place files in one drive, it seems to be possible to convert the any type of files to jpg format.

     

    see below flow:

    Files are placed in input folder in any format

    It is converted and placed in a output folder in jpg format

    Hi @AlexEncodian ,

     

     

    Create a PowerAutomate flow. Use 'When a file is created' trigger. and add condition to compare the file extension if it is same as desired format or not. If not then for conversion you need to API to convert file after conversion you can same in same folder.

     

    Please give kudos and mark as solution if it helps.  

      

    Thanks,
