  • Google Drive could soon be able to save scanned documents as JPEG files in addition to its current ability to save them as PDFs.
  • This would give Google Drive better feature parity against dedicated document scanner apps like Microsoft Lens.

Update, July 15, 2024 (01:25 PM ET): We have managed to activate the feature, and here are two screenshots showing the ability to save in JPEG and PDF.

As you can see, the PDF created will have four pages with scanned images, while JPEGs are individual files for each photo.
