Seamless CSV to JPG Conversion in .NET with REST API

Data representation is essential in all applications, and at times, developers must convert structured data into visual, accessible formats. With the GroupDocs.Conversion Cloud .NET SDK, converting CSV files to high-quality JPG images is a breeze using the capabilities of the Cloud REST API. This method eliminates the necessity of installing third-party software or dealing with complicated conversion logic manually.

By integrating this .NET REST API into your applications developed in C#, ASP.NET, or VB.NET, you can exercise complete control over file conversions. The method is simple—upload your CSV file, set your preferred output format, and obtain a clean and well-rendered JPG image. This not only saves you time but also improves how your application manages data visualization, reporting, and information dissemination.

The GroupDocs.Conversion Cloud .NET SDK accommodates numerous file types and offers developers a scalable, cloud-based document conversion solution. It is designed for efficiency, security, and adaptability—making it suitable for enterprise-level systems, SaaS platforms, or internal business applications.

namespace CSVtoJPGConversion
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            // Configure API credentials
            string MyAppKey = "your-app-key";
            string MyAppSecret = "your-app-secret";

            var config = new Configuration(MyAppKey, MyAppSecret);
            var convertApi = new ConvertApi(config);

            // Upload a local CSV file to cloud storage 
            string localFilePath = @"C:\Example Files\source.csv";
            using (var stream = File.OpenRead(localFilePath))
            {
                var fileApi = new FileApi(config);
                fileApi.UploadFile(new UploadFileRequest("source.csv", stream));
            }

            // Prepare conversion settings
            var convertSettings = new ConvertSettings
            {
                FilePath = "source.csv", // Uploaded source file in cloud storage
                Format = "jpg", // Set output format to JPG
                OutputPath = "conversion/converted.jpg",
                ConvertOptions = new JpgConvertOptions()
            };

            try
            {
                // Perform CSV to JPG conversion
                var request = new ConvertDocumentRequest(convertSettings);
                var response = convertApi.ConvertDocument(request);

                Console.WriteLine(response != null
                    ? "CSV to JPG conversion was successful!"
                    : "CSV to JPG conversion failed.");
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("An error occurred: " + ex.Message);
