  • 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.
  • The feature has been spotted rolling out to devices.

Update 2, July 28, 2024 (11:07 PM ET): We have spotted the feature on our device with Google Drive v2.24.297.0, which indicates that it is rolling out publicly. Have you received this functionality on your device? Let us know in the comments below!

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.
