PDF converted to image not visible on browser

I have managed to convert my PDF files column into images using a separate virtual column. The image is visible on the detailed view when opening the app form a device however whenever it is opened from a web browser the image does not show. I hope any one has a solution to this problem.

I don't get what on earth are you doing.
Can you share some screenshots?

If I understand correctly you are pointing a new VC of type Image to another column of type File and expect it to work?

The VC column I created is populated with URL links for PDF files located in my google drive. I assigned that VC type as (Image) and it worked. The VC is displaying the first page of the PDF as an image in the detail view. But that only works if the App is opened from a cellular device. If I open the App on any web browser, the image is not displayed and is replaced with the the exclamation triangle sign in the picture below. I hope my question is clear enough, and I really hope there is a solution for this problem. Could the solution be changing some settings in my browser??. Im using Chrome by the way.

Afaik, it shouldn't. You will be better asking help from support
