Author: Amanda Li Last Modified: 2024-07-03

There are various scenarios where saving a Word document as an image can be highly beneficial. For instance, converting a document into an image format makes it easier to share content across platforms that don't support Word files. It also ensures that the formatting and layout remain intact, which is crucial for professional presentations, social media posts, and email attachments. Additionally, images are more accessible for embedding in web pages and blogs.

In this tutorial, we will explore three easy methods to save a Word document as an image. Whether you need to save just one page or convert an entire document into individual images, we've got you covered. Follow these step-by-step instructions to achieve your desired result:

The Word "Screenshot" => "Save as Image" does not render the image clearly enough to use in publication.
The screenshot does not accurately represent the text within the diagram; there's an unacceptable loss of hard edges, despite this being a supposedly same-size rendition.

As simple as ABC. All you have to do is just screenshot your intended document to be converted into JPEG and paste it into MS Word and crop. Then your done!

Hello, the 3rd option does not export image files when "current page size" selected. Otherwise a very good add-in. Thank you.
