Looks that the problem is with convert, not with node-pdf-image, checkup the path of the file you're giving

same issue here.. what's the problem with convert? I think we need more information here..

This fail when the input path contain ":" and probably other characters, changing the filename solved the problem. Maybe use the absolute path.

Downgrading GhostScript to 9.23 worked for me..

though haven't tried on Windows, works on MacOS for sure..

confirmed on Windows as well.. after downgrading GhostScript to 9.23 we have no issue such as 'Invalid Parameter - 'test-0.png'.. pdfImage.convertPage(0) method works fine, whereas pdfImage.convertFile() doesn't!
