Convert Images to PDF via Google Slides & Drive (Free)

This n8n workflow provides a cost-free solution to batch convert images stored in a Google Drive folder into a professional PDF document. It leverages Google Slides as an intermediary: first copying a user-specified Slides template to define the PDF's page dimensions (e.g., A4 portrait or landscape), then inserting sorted images onto individual slides, and finally exporting the presentation as a PDF saved back to Google Drive.

Key benefits include full control over output formatting without paid tools, automatic sorting of images by creation date for organized results, and seamless integration between Google services. It's efficient for handling large image sets, ensuring consistent sizing and orientation regardless of original image aspects.

Use cases span creating employee photo directories, visual HR reports, client portfolios, event photo albums, or any scenario needing quick PDF compilation from Drive-stored images. Setup is straightforward: connect Google accounts, select a Slides template and image folder, customize the PDF name, and execute. Best results come from images matching the template's aspect ratio, with filtering to include only image files.

Customization options allow tweaking filters for specific file types or adding logic for naming conventions. No additional software required beyond Google accounts and a prepared Slides template.
