CSV to JPG | Convert CSV to JPEG | Image to CSV in C# .NET

Converting CSV (Comma-Separated Values) files to JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) images using C# .NET offers a myriad of benefits that are indispensable in today’s data-centric environment. This transformation not only allows the creation of visually engaging charts, graphs, and diagrams but also plays a crucial role in data visualization and communication. Though the image to CSV conversion is important, but for now, our focus is on the crucial CSV to JPG transformation for enhanced data visualization using REST API.

REST API for CSV to JPG Conversion

GroupDocs.Conversion Cloud SDK for .NET offers a robust solution for converting CSV files to JPG images with unmatched efficiency and quality. Therefore, by leveraging the power of cloud-based processing, this SDK ensures seamless and accurate conversion, preserving data integrity and visual fidelity. Let’s explore the details on how we can unlock the full potential of our data by transforming tabular information into impactful visual representations for enhanced data analysis, reporting, and presentation.

The first step is to install the SDK by searching GroupDocs.Conversion-Cloud in NuGet package manager and click the Install button. Another option is to execute the following command in package manager console.

NuGet\Install-Package GroupDocs.Conversion-Cloud -Version 24.4.0

The next important step is to obtain the personalized API credentials(i.e. Client ID and Client Secret). Please follow the instructions specified in this short tutorial explaining the details on how to get the API credentials.

This section explains how this API simplifies the conversion process, allowing you to seamlessly integrate CSV to JPG conversion functionality into your .NET applications.

Create an instance of Configuration class where we pass client credentials as arguments.

var configurations = new Configuration(clientId, clientSecret1);

Initialize the ConvertApi where we pass Configuration object as an input argument.

var apiInstance = new ConvertApi(configurations);

Upload the input CSV file to the cloud storage.

fileUpload.UploadFile(new UploadFileRequest("input.csv", stream));

Create an instance ConvertSettings where we specify the name for input CSV, resultant format as jpg and the name for output JPG image as arguments.

var settings = new ConvertSettings{...}

Call the ConvertDocumentRequest API to convert CSV to JPG and save the resultant JPEG image to the cloud storage.

var response = apiInstance.ConvertDocument(new ConvertDocumentRequest(settings));

	// More examples over https://github.com/groupdocs-conversion-cloud/groupdocs-conversion-cloud-dotnet
	// Obtain your API credentials
	string clientId = "4bdefca3-f08c-4088-9ca0-55c38f4b7f22";
	string clientSecret1 = "a43c8b4365246a062688a259abe5b469";

	// Create an instance of the Configuration class and initialize it with the Client ID & Client Secret.
	var configurations = new GroupDocs.Conversion.Cloud.Sdk.Client.Configuration(clientId, clientSecret1);
	// Define the value of ApiBaseUrl to set the base url of CSV to JPG conversion API.
	configuration.ApiBaseUrl = "https://api.groupdocs.cloud";

	// Initialize an instance of the ConvertApi class with the object of the Configuration class.
	var apiInstance = new GroupDocs.Conversion.Cloud.Sdk.Api.ConvertApi(configurations);

	// read the content of input Comma Separated Values file from local drive
	using (var stream = System.IO.File.OpenRead("source.csv"))
	{
	// create an instance of FileApi
	var fileUpload = new FileApi(configurations);
	// upload the input CSV to cloud storage
	fileUpload.UploadFile(new UploadFileRequest("input.cs", stream));

	// create ConvertSettings where we define the input CSV file name and the resultant JPG image
	var settings = new ConvertSettings
	{
	StorageName = "internal",
	FilePath = "input.cs",
	Format = "jpg",
	OutputPath = "myResultant.jpg"
	};

	// Invoke the ConvertDocument method for CSV to JPG conversion.
	var response = apiInstance.ConvertDocument(new ConvertDocumentRequest(settings));
	if (response != null && response.Equals("OK"))
	{
	// print success message
	Console.WriteLine("The CSV to JPG image conversion completed successfully !");
	}
	}

Convert CSV to JPG without Uploading to Cloud Storage

In case do not want to upload the input CSV to cloud storage and want to convert the inline CSV to JPG image, please try using following code snippet.

	// More examples over https://github.com/groupdocs-conversion-cloud/groupdocs-conversion-cloud-dotnet
	// Obtain your API credentials
	string clientId = "4bdefca3-f08c-4088-9ca0-55c38f4b7f22";
	string clientSecret1 = "a43c8b4365246a062688a259abe5b469";

	// Create an instance of the Configuration class and initialize it with the Client ID & Client Secret.
	var configurations = new GroupDocs.Conversion.Cloud.Sdk.Client.Configuration(clientId, clientSecret1);
	// Define the value of ApiBaseUrl to set the base url of CSV to JPG conversion API.
	configuration.ApiBaseUrl = "https://api.groupdocs.cloud";

	// Initialize an instance of the ConvertApi class with the object of the Configuration class.
	var apiInstance = new GroupDocs.Conversion.Cloud.Sdk.Api.ConvertApi(configurations);

	// read the content of input Comma Separated Values file from local drive
	using (var stream = System.IO.File.OpenRead("source.csv"))
	{
	// Invoke the ConvertDocument method to convert CSV to JPG programmatically.
	var response = apiInstance.ConvertDocumentDirect(new ConvertDocumentDirectRequest("jpg", stream, fromPage: 1, pagesCount: 1));

	if (response != null && response.Equals("OK"))
	{
	// print success message
	Console.WriteLine("The CSV to JPG image conversion completed successfully !");
	}
	// our custom method to save resultant JPG on local drive
	saveToDisk(response, @"D:\myConverted.jpg");
	}

	// Our custom method to save stream content to file on local drive
	public static void saveToDisk(Stream responseStream, String resultantFile)
	{
	var fileStream = File.Create(resultantFile);
	responseStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
	responseStream.CopyTo(fileStream);
	fileStream.Close();
	}

The input CSV file and the resultant JPG image can be downloaded from input.csv and myResultant.jpg.

Convert CSV to JPG using cURL Commands

Converting CSV files to JPG images using GroupDocs.Conversion Cloud is a streamlined process facilitated by cURL commands. With a simple POST request to the API endpoint and specifying the input CSV file along with the desired output format as JPG, you can initiate the conversion effortlessly.

The first step is to generate a JWT access token based on client credentials and once we have generated the JWT token, please execute the following cURL command to convert CSV to JPG image and save the resultant JPG file in cloud storage.

curl -v "https://api.groupdocs.cloud/v2.0/conversion" \
-X POST \
-H "accept: application/json" \
-H "authorization: Bearer {accessToken}" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{  \"StorageName\": \"internal\",  \"FilePath\": \"{sourceFile}\",  \"Format\": \"jpg\",  \"LoadOptions\": {    \"Format\": \"csv\"  },\"OutputPath\": \"{myResultantFile}\"}"

Please replace sourceFile with the name of input CSV file, myResultantFile with the name of resultant JPG image and accessToken with personalized JWT access token.

Now, if we need to save the resultant JPG on local drive, please try using the following cURL command:

curl -v "https://api.groupdocs.cloud/v2.0/conversion" \
-X POST \
-H "accept: application/json" \
-H "authorization: Bearer {accessToken}" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{  \"StorageName\": \"internal\",  \"FilePath\": \"{sourceFile}\",  \"Format\": \"jpg\",  \"LoadOptions\": {    \"Format\": \"csv\"  }}" \
-o "myResultantFile.jpg"
