Bulk Convert Multiple Google Drive Files to PDF
Selecting multiple Google Drive files and converting them in a single batch is the core use case for the Docs to PDF extension. Pick the files you need, click once, and each one downloads as a separate PDF.
Selecting files for bulk conversion
In Google Drive, switch to list view. Hold Ctrl on Windows or Cmd on Mac and click each file you want. A checkbox appears next to selected files. You can include files from any point in the list and deselect by clicking again. The number of selected items shows in the Drive toolbar.
What happens during the batch
Click the extension icon to start. The extension reads your selection, filters for convertible Google Workspace file types, and exports each one using Google's API. Each PDF downloads as it finishes. The batch runs in the background while you browse.
File naming in the output
Each PDF takes the name of the source file. Rename files in Drive before converting if you need a specific naming convention. All PDFs go to your default Chrome downloads folder.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I select files across different folders for a single bulk conversion?
No. Drive allows selecting files within one folder view. Run the extension separately for files in different folders.
