There are many reasons why you might need to convert Word documents to images. For example, a lot of devices can open and display images directly without any special software, and when images are transmitted their content is difficult to be tampered with. In this article, you will learn how to convert Word to popular image formats such as JPG, PNG and SVG using Spire.Doc for Java.

Convert Word to JPG in Java
Spire.Doc for Java offers the Document.saveToImages() method to convert a whole Word document into individual BufferedImage images. Then, each BufferedImage can be saved as a BMP, EMF, JPEG, PNG, GIF, or WMF file. The following are the steps to convert Word to JPG using this library.
- Create a Document object.
- Load a Word document using Document.loadFromFile() method.
- Convert the document to BufferedImage images using Document.saveToImages() method.
- Loop through the image collection to get the specific one.
- Re-write the image with different color space.
- Write the BufferedImage to a JPG file.
- Java
import com.spire.doc.Document;
import com.spire.doc.documents.ImageType;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
public class ConvertWordToJPG {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
//Create a Document object
Document doc = new Document();
//Load a Word document
doc.loadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\ConvertTemplate.docx");
//Convert the whole document into individual buffered images
BufferedImage[] images = doc.saveToImages(ImageType.Bitmap);
//Loop through the images
for (int i = 0; i < images.length; i++) {
//Get the specific image
BufferedImage image = images[i];
//Re-write the image with a different color space
BufferedImage newImg = new BufferedImage(image.getWidth(), image.getHeight(), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
newImg.getGraphics().drawImage(image, 0, 0, null);
//Write to a JPG file
File file = new File("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\Images\\" + String.format(("Image-%d.jpg"), i));
ImageIO.write(newImg, "JPEG", file);
}
}
}
Convert Word to SVG in Java
Using Spire.Doc for Java, you can save a Word document as a list of byte arrays. Each byte array can then be written as a SVG file. The detailed steps to convert Word to SVG are as follows.
- Create a Document object.
- Load a Word file using Document.loadFromFile() method.
- Save the document as a list of byte arrays using Document.saveToSVG() method.
- Loop through the items in the list to get a specific byte array.
- Write the byte array to a SVG file.
- Java
import com.spire.doc.Document;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.List;
public class ConvertWordToSVG {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
//Create a Document object
Document doc = new Document();
//Load a Word document
doc.loadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\ConvertTemplate.docx");
//Save the document as a list of byte arrays
List<byte[]> svgBytes = doc.saveToSVG();
//Loop through the items in the list
for (int i = 0; i < svgBytes.size(); i++)
{
//Get a specific byte array
byte[] byteArray = svgBytes.get(i);
//Specify the output file name
String outputFile = String.format("Image-%d.svg", i);
//Write the byte array to a SVG file
try (FileOutputStream stream = new FileOutputStream("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\Images\\" + outputFile)) {
stream.write(byteArray);
}
}
}
}
Convert Word to PNG with Customized Resolution
An image with higher resolution is generally more clear. You can customize the image resolution while converting Word to PNG by following the following steps.
- Create a Document object.
- Load a Word file using Document.loadFromFile() method.
- Convert the document to BufferedImage images with the specified resolution using Document.saveToImages() method.
- Loop through the image collection to get the specific one and save it as a PNG file.
- Java
import com.spire.doc.Document;
import com.spire.doc.documents.ImageType;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
public class ConvertWordToPNG {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
//Create a Document object
Document doc = new Document();
//Load a Word document
doc.loadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\ConvertTemplate.docx");
//Convert the whole document into individual buffered images with customized resolution
BufferedImage[] images = doc.saveToImages(0, doc.getPageCount(), ImageType.Bitmap, 150, 150);
//Loop through the images
for (int i = 0; i < images.length; i++) {
//Get the specific image
BufferedImage image = images[i];
//Write to a PNG file
File file = new File("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\Images\\" + String.format(("Image-%d.png"), i));
ImageIO.write(image, "PNG", file);
}
}
}
