Exporting images from word

Download PC Repair Tool to quickly find & fix Windows errors automatically

Microsoft Word allows us to insert images easily and without reducing any resolution. We might come across a situation where we want to share only images and not the entire document, or you might have deleted all images from your Windows PC and want to get them back from the Word document. Normally, what everyone would do is right-click on the image and select “Save image as”, but that is a time-consuming and tedious task. In this article, I will let you know of three ways to extract all images from Word documents in an easy way without the need for any special tools or 3rd-party software.

There may be other ways to extract all the images from a Word document, but here are the 3 best ways to do it. So, let us start without any ado.

1. Save the Word Document as Web Page

This is one of the easiest methods to extract all images from a Word document. We will save the Word document as a Web Page and it will extract all images as a batch.

Open the Word document from which you want to extract all images. Now, click on the “File” button on the top left of the document and select “Save As”.

save as in file menu

Select the location where you want to save and give the meaningful name. Now, under “Save As” dropdown, select “Web Page”.

select web page

You will also see “Web Page, Filtered” but do not select it as it may reduce the resolution of images. Click on “Save” button to save the Word document as the Web Page.

Go to the location where you have saved the document and you would see ‘.htm’ file and the folder with the given name will be created.

htm folder of the word document

Open the folder and you could see all the images listed there. Copy all these images to any folder you like.

2. Change the extension from ‘.docx’ to ‘.zip’

This method to extract all images as a batch from the document is so simple that all you need to do is rename the extension of the file from ‘.docx’ to ‘.zip’.

Select the required document, right-click on it and select “Rename”.

Now, change the extension from ‘.docx’ to ‘.zip’ and hit Enter. It will show you this dialog box, but do not worry and click “Yes”.

change docx to zip

Use any of the zip extraction software like 7-Zip, WinRAR, etc, to extract this zip file. Give the location where you want to extract the zip folder.

extract the zip folder

Now, open the folder you have extracted and go to Word > Media.

Now, in the ‘media’ folder you will find all images which you can copy to another folder if you want.

UPDATE: You may just right-click the Word file and use 7-Zip to extract the images.

3. Copy and Paste Method

This method is not as good as the above two, but it would be very helpful when you want to extract one or two images only.

Right-click on the image and select “Copy” from the options. The size and resolution of the copied image will not be affected.

Now, open any image processing tool like Paint, Photoshop or GIMP, but here I would use the default tool called “Paint”. Open Paint, paste the image and press “CTRL+S” or click Save button to save the image.

These are some of the ways to extract images in a Word document as a batch.

3 Ways to Extract Images from a Word File

by Avantix Learning Team | Updated April 7, 2021

Applies to: Microsoft® Word® 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019 or 365 (Windows)

In Microsoft Word, images can be extracted one by one or you can extract all images by converting a Word document to a zip file or saving it as a web page. Extracting all images is helpful if you’d like to find pictures that are inflated in size or reuse pictures in other files. In this article, we’ll use 3 methods to extract images (we’re referring to images or pictures that have been inserted into your Word document, not shapes or SmartArt you’ve created).

Extracting one image at a time using Save as Picture

You can extract individual images and save them as new files using Save As Picture.

There are two benefits to this method:

  • You can give each image a meaningful name and save it in a specific location.
  • You can save the image as a different file type.

To save an image as a new file:

  1. Right-click the image and then click Save as Picture from the drop-down menu.
  2. In the Save as type drop-down menu, select the image file format you want to use. You can save a picture in many formats but common choices are JPG or JPEG (Joint Photographics Experts Group) or PNG (Portable Network Graphics).
  3. In the File name box, type a name for the file.
  4. Navigate to the desired location.
  5. Click Save.

Displaying file extensions in Windows

In order to use the zip procedure (below), you may need to display file extensions in Windows if they are not showing automatically.

If you’re using Windows 8 or 10:

  1. In File Explorer, click the View tab in the Ribbon.
  2. In the Show/Hide group, click the File name extensions check box.

If you’re using Windows 7:

  1. In Windows Explorer, click Folder and Search Options and then click Organize.
  2. On the View tab, under Files and Folders, clear the check box for Hide extensions for known file types.
  3. Click OK.

Extracting all images by changing the file to a zip format

If you want to extract all images, the following trick works with any Microsoft Word file using XML (Extensible Markup Language) format. XML files are stored as a package and can therefore be unzipped. They also end with an «x» such as .docx.

In order to use the zip method, you will need a document created in Word 2007 or a later version and File Explorer or Windows Explorer must be set so that it shows file names with extensions (see the following section if extensions are not displayed).

To extract all image files from a Microsoft Word file:

  1. In File Explorer or Windows Explorer, select the document (it should have a .dotx extension) with the images you wish to extract.
  2. Right-click and choose Copy or press Ctrl + C.
  3. Right-click and choose Paste or press Ctrl + V.
  4. Right-click the copy of the document and choose Rename.
  5. Change the file extension from .dotx to .zip (Windows must be set to display file extensions).
  6. Press Enter. A dialog box appears warning you that the file may become unusable if you change the extension.
  7. Click Yes to continue. The file icon changes to a folder icon.
  8. Double-click the zipped folder. The zipped folder contains multiple folders (some contain information such as XML code or properties).
  9. Double-click the Word folder.
  10. Double-click the media folder to view image, video and audio files. Each file is given a generic name.
  11. Copy these files (or the entire folder) to another location to use in other documents and to rename the files. Copying to another location will unzip the files. You can also click the Extract button in Windows Explorer to extract the files to another location.

Below is a sample Word folder (with a media folder) created during this process:

Extracting all images by saving the Word file as a web page

Unlike PowerPoint, Microsoft Word files can be saved as web pages (HTML format). If you save a Word file as a web page, then separate files are created for pictures and media files.

To extract all image files from a Microsoft Word file by saving the file as a web page:

  1. Click the File tab in the Ribbon and select Save As.
  2. From the Save As Type drop-down menu, select Web Page.
  3. Enter a new name for the file. A .htm extension will be added.
  4. Click OK.
  5. A dialog box may appear indicating that you may lose some formatting. Click Continue. Word will change the view to Web Layout View.
  6. Close the file.
  7. In File Explorer or Windows Explorer, navigate to the location in which you had saved the file. A folder should have been created with the same name and «files» at the end.
  8. Double-click the folder. Image, video and audio files should appear in this folder. Each file is given a generic name.
  9. Right-click any of the files to rename them.

Below are the contents of a folder that was created when a Word file was saved as a web page:

When you open Word again, click the View tab and select Print Layout (the default view).

It’s up to you which method you’d prefer but the last two are the easiest if you are extracting multiple images.

kak-vyitashhit-kartinki-iz-word

Бывало ли у вас такое, что в документе Word вы нашли изображение или изображения, которые бы хотелось сохранить и использовать в дальнейшем? Желание сохранить картинку — это, конечно, хорошо, вопрос лишь в том, как это сделать?

Простое “CTRL+C”, “CTRL+V” работает далеко не всегда и не везде, да и в контекстном меню, которое открывается по нажатию на файл, тоже нет пункта “Сохранить”. В этой статье мы расскажем о простом и эффективном способе, с помощью которого можно сохранить картинку из Ворд в JPG или любом другом формате.

dokument-s-kartinkami-v-word

Лучшее решение в ситуации, когда нужно сохранить рисунок из Word отдельным файлом, это изменение формата текстового документа. Если говорить точнее, расширение DOCX (или DOC) нужно изменить на ZIP, то есть, сделать из текстового документа архив. Непосредственно внутри этого архива вы сможете найти все содержащиеся в нем графические файлы и сохранить их все или только те, что вам нужны.

Урок: Вставка изображения в Ворд

Создание архива

Прежде, чем приступить к выполнению манипуляций, описанных ниже, сохранить документ, содержащий графические файлы, и закройте его.

1. Откройте папку с документом Word, содержащим необходимые вам картинки, и кликните по нему.

papka-s-dokumentom-word

2. Нажмите “F2”, чтобы его переименовать.

pereimenovat-dokument-word

3. Удалите расширение файла.

izmenenie-formata-dokumenta-word

Примечание: Если расширение файла не отображается при попытке его переименовать, выполните следующие действия:

4. Введите новое имя расширения (ZIP) и нажмите “ENTER”.

5. Подтвердите действие, нажав “Да” в появившемся окне.

podtverzhdenie-pereimenovanie

6. Документ DOCX (или DOC) будет изменен на ZIP-архив, с которым мы и продолжим работать.

fayl-pereimenovan-word

Извлечение содержимого из архива

1. Откройте созданный вами архив.

otkryityiy-arhiv

2. Перейдите в папку “Word”.

papka-vord

3. Откройте папку “Media” — именно в ней и будут содержаться ваши картинки.

kartinki-iz-vord-v-arhive

4. Выделите эти файлы и скопируйте, нажав “CTRL+C”, вставьте их в любое удобное место, нажав “CTRL+V”. Также, вы можете просто перетащить изображения из архива в папку.

Если текстовый документ, который вы преобразовали в архив, все еще нужен вам для работы, повторно изменить его расширение на DOCX или DOC. Для этого воспользуйтесь инструкцией с предыдущего раздела этой статьи.

Стоит отметить, что изображения, которые содержались в документе DOCX, а теперь стали частью архива, сохраняются в своем оригинальном качестве. То есть, даже если в документе большая картинка была уменьшена, в архиве она будет представлена в полном размере.

Вот, собственно, и все, теперь вы знаете, как можно быстро и удобно извлекать графические файлы из Ворд. Используя этот простой метод, вы можете вытащить из текстового документа фото или любые картинки, которые в нем содержатся.
