Frequently Asked Questions About Extracting Images from Word

How do I extract images from a Word document?
Choose a DOCX file or drop it into the extractor. WordToMD opens the document locally, finds the original files stored in its media folder, and displays them for individual download or a single ZIP download.
Does the Word image extractor upload my document?
No. The DOCX archive is opened entirely in your browser. Your Word document and extracted images are not sent to WordToMD servers.
Are extracted images recompressed?
No. The tool downloads the original media files stored inside the DOCX package, preserving their existing file format and byte content.
Are Word images shown in document order?
Yes. For ordinary inline and anchored DOCX pictures, WordToMD reads the document relationships and lists each image by its first appearance in the document. Unreferenced media files are appended afterward.
Which Word image formats are supported?
The extractor can recover any file stored in the DOCX media folder, including PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, BMP, TIFF, SVG, EMF, and WMF. Your browser may not preview some legacy formats, but you can still download them.
Can I extract images from an old .doc file?
Not directly. This tool supports the modern .docx format. Open an older .doc file in Microsoft Word or LibreOffice, save it as DOCX, and then run the extractor.
