Hello!

Not currently, but you could use the HTML conversion to handle such case.

[labor4]

yes i tried it with a html wrapper. the problem is image specific: usually you dont want any margin framing or splitting on pictures or they need to be scaled proportionally. there is logic needed on the html side too.
maybe imagemagick would be a way to framework this?
i know IM is quite big.

Indeed, let’s mark this as enhancement. 👍

Yes, this feature is more useful. Is the current pptx document converted to PNG? In addition, whether to consider supporting the conversion of office documents to html5 in the future.

Currently the scope of Gotenberg is to convert various files to PDF. So conversion to others formats is not something we plan to add, at least for now.

I think, adding Inkscape, Ghostscript and ImageMagick to Gotenberg is a goal, we could achieve together and make this tool even more famous.

Indeed 😄 but I do not want to have an image > 1GB

[tobwen]

Then move away from debian 😄 No, for real, maybe a fork in future...

A container based conversion service would be a pretty good alternative to all those cloud services, where you don't know what's happening with your documents. But I fully understand if this isn't the way you imagine Gotenberg to go.

I agree with @tobwen on this one. ImageMagick and GS support would be very cool!

+1 for a request for this, it would be super neat. We have this as a big use case at work: Converting images to PDF. Is there any way I could help?

[gulien]

Maybe it should be possible using Google Chrome?

Looks like PDFium is what Chrome uses

We have a friendly fork that can convert several images (png, jpeg, gif) in a single page (svg) ... converted to a PDF :

with a single APi call :

$ curl --request POST \
    --url http://localhost:3000/convert/inkscape \
    --header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
    --form files=@gotenberg_ter.svg \
    --form files=@image1.png \
    --form files=@image2.gif \
    --form files=@image3.jpeg \
    -o result_images.pdf
