Extract Images from Word
See every picture inside a Word document with its alt text and size, pick the ones you want, and save them at original quality. It runs in your browser, so the document is never uploaded.

What happens to your file.
A .docx is a ZIP package, so the media files are read straight out of it in your browser and returned exactly as stored, byte for byte. The relationships and drawing elements are read as well, which is how each picture is paired with the alt text and name Word holds for it, and how the list can say where each one is used. Conversion to another format is optional and only happens if you ask for it.
Where it stops: You get what is stored, not what the page showed: a picture cropped in Word is usually cropped for display only, so the extracted file can show more than the document did. Charts and SmartArt are drawings rather than stored pictures and are not extracted — copy them in Word and paste as a picture first. EMF and WMF vector images cannot be previewed by browsers, though they still download correctly.
What the labels on each picture mean
| Label | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| In the document | The picture appears in the body text |
| In a header / In a footer | Part of the page furniture, such as a letterhead |
| Not used in the document | Still stored in the file, usually left over from an edit |
| No alt text | Nobody described this picture for screen readers |
| Cannot be previewed | An EMF, WMF or TIFF; it downloads correctly all the same |
Original or converted?
Leave the format on Original whenever you can: the file is copied out untouched, so there is no quality loss at all and the download is fastest. Convert to PNG when you need transparency and the original is a JPG, to JPG when a large PNG photo needs to be smaller, or to WebP when the pictures are going onto a website. Converting always re-encodes, so it cannot improve on the stored original.
What people use it for.
Everything you need, without a paywall.
Common questions.
How do I extract all images from a Word document?
Add the .docx file and every picture appears in a gallery. All of them are selected by default, so use Download to save them as a ZIP, or clear the selection and pick the ones you want. Nothing is uploaded.
Is quality lost?
Not with the default setting. Files are copied out of the package byte for byte, so you get exactly what was embedded — unlike copy-and-paste from Word, which often recompresses. Quality only changes if you choose to convert to another format.
Why do I see tiny images I did not add?
Word stores bullet glyphs, horizontal rules and theme decorations as pictures too. "Hide pictures under 64 px" is on by default so the list shows real pictures; turn it off to see everything.
Will I get images that were cropped in Word?
You get the stored original. Word crops are usually display-only, so the extracted image can show more than the document did.
What does "Not used in the document" mean?
The picture is still inside the file but nothing references it, which usually means it was deleted from the page without Word removing the stored copy. It is offered anyway, since it is often the one you are looking for.
Does it remove photo location data?
Yes, by default. Photos from a phone can carry the GPS position where they were taken; that and the camera details are removed without re-encoding the picture.
Does this work for Excel and PowerPoint?
Those use the same packaging but are not accepted here. Use the PowerPoint and Excel tools for those formats.
