The problem it solves

Turning a batch of photos into a single, well-formatted PDF usually means manually inserting each image into a document one at a time, or paying for conversion software. Getting the page size and order right by hand is fiddly.

Who it fits

A business creating photo albums, visual reports, or portfolios from a folder of images.

How it works

  1. You choose a template that sets the page size and orientation
  2. The system gathers every image from a chosen Drive folder and sorts them by date
  3. Each image is placed on its own page in a copy of the template
  4. The finished presentation is converted to a PDF and saved back to Drive
What you get

Images turned into one polished PDF

Every image in your Drive folder is combined into a single PDF, in the page size and order you choose.

What you get

A single, properly formatted PDF file saved to Google Drive.

What you need

A Google Drive account and a Google Slides account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
