Excel to JPEG Image in C# .NET.

Excel is a powerful tool for organizing and analyzing data but may not always be the most effective way to present information, especially when targeting broader audiences or incorporating data into presentations, reports, or websites. However, by converting Excel spreadsheets to JPG images, you can create visually appealing representations of data that is easier to incorporate into various media types. Furthermore, it enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of documents, and ensure compatibility across different platforms and devices.

Convert Excel to JPEG using C# .NET

The following section explains the details on how we can streamline Excel (XLS, XLSX) to JPEG conversion using C# .NET.

  1. Create an instance of Configuration class where we pass client credentials as arguments.
var configurations = new Configuration(clientId, clientSecret1);
  1. Initialize the ConvertApi where we pass Configuration object as an input argument.
var apiInstance = new ConvertApi(configurations);
  1. Upload the input Excel workbook to the cloud storage.
fileUpload.UploadFile(new UploadFileRequest("input.xls", stream));
  1. Create an instance ConvertSettings where we specify the name for input XLS, resultant format as JPG and the name for resultant JPG image as arguments.
var settings = new ConvertSettings{...}
  1. Call the ConvertDocumentRequest API to turn Excel 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 the Excel to JPG converter 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);
// load the input Excel workbook from local drive
using (var stream = System.IO.File.OpenRead("input.xls"))
{
// create an instance of FileApi
var fileUpload = new FileApi(configurations);
// upload the input Excel workbook to cloud storage
fileUpload.UploadFile(new UploadFileRequest("input.xls", stream));
// create ConvertSettings where we define the input Excel workbook and the name for resultant JPEG image
var settings = new ConvertSettings
{
StorageName = "internal",
FilePath = "input.xls",
Format = "jpg",
OutputPath = "output.jpeg"
};
// Invoke the ConvertDocument method for Excel to JPG image conversion online.
var response = apiInstance.ConvertDocument(new GroupDocs.Conversion.Cloud.Sdk.Model.Requests.ConvertDocumentRequest(settings));
if (response != null && response.Equals("OK"))
{
// print success message
Console.WriteLine("The Excel to JPEG conversion completed successfully !");
}
}
