Extract Images from Word

Pull every embedded image out of a Word document at its original quality. Copying images out of Word by hand usually degrades them; extracting from the package does not. It is free, needs no account, and adds no watermark to your result.

How it works

What happens to your file.

A DOCX is a ZIP package, so the embedded media files are read directly from it and returned exactly as stored, with no re-encoding. Multiple images arrive as a ZIP.

Questions

Common questions.

Is quality lost?

No. Files are copied out of the package byte for byte, so you get exactly what was embedded, unlike copy-and-paste which often recompresses.

Will I get images that were cropped in Word?

You get the stored original. Word crops are usually display-only, so the extracted image may show more than the document did.

Does this work for Excel and PowerPoint?

Those use the same packaging. Use the equivalent extraction tools for those formats.
