Extract images from your PDF files automatically

Swiftask partners with ConvertAPI to automate image extraction. Retrieve your visual assets instantly, without manual effort.

Result:

Save hours of tedious work. Your images are extracted and ready for use the moment the PDF arrives.

Manual asset management in PDFs slows down your projects

Working with PDFs containing visual assets is often a headache. Extracting each image manually is a repetitive, error-prone, and extremely time-consuming task for your creative or technical teams.

Main negative impacts:

  • Creative time loss: Your designers spend more time handling files than designing innovative visuals.
  • Human error risk: Manual extraction can lead to quality loss or missing essential assets in complex documents.
  • Operational bottlenecks: Document processing piles up, delaying asset availability for marketing or technical teams.

Swiftask automates extraction using ConvertAPI. Configure a workflow once, and let the AI process every incoming PDF to isolate and save your images automatically.

BEFORE / AFTER

What changes with Swiftask

Traditional management

Receiving a PDF, manual opening, using capture tools or complex software, renaming and saving one by one. A slow process that blocks critical workflows.

Swiftask + ConvertAPI approach

The PDF arrives in your folder or via email. Swiftask detects it, triggers extraction via ConvertAPI, and automatically drops images into your cloud storage. Zero intervention.

Deploying your extraction pipeline

STEP 1 : Define document source

Connect your document source (email, cloud storage) to your Swiftask agent.

STEP 2 : Integrate ConvertAPI connector

Add ConvertAPI as a processing tool to convert and extract components from your PDFs.

STEP 3 : Set output rules

Specify where extracted images should be saved (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox, internal server).

STEP 4 : Launch automation

Activate the workflow. Swiftask now handles every new PDF without any action from you.

Image processing capabilities

The agent analyzes the PDF structure to identify embedded visual resources, regardless of the number of pages or document complexity.

  • Target connector: The agent performs the right actions in convertapi based on event context.
  • Automated actions: High-resolution extraction, format conversion, automatic file renaming, folder sorting, processing completion notifications.
  • Native governance: Swiftask ensures file integrity throughout the automated extraction process.

Each action is contextualized and executed automatically at the right time.

Each Swiftask agent uses a dedicated identity (e.g. agent-convertapi@swiftask.ai ). You keep full visibility on every action and every sent message.

Key takeaway: The agent automates repetitive decisions and leaves high-value actions to your teams.

Automation benefits

Reduce processing time from minutes to seconds per document.

2. Asset standardization

Each extracted image is processed according to your rules: format, size, and consistent naming.

3. Effortless scalability

Whether you have 10 or 1000 PDFs, the system handles the workload without extra intervention.

4. Seamless integration

Use your favorite tools to automatically store and organize your resources.

5. Reduced costs
