DOCX to JPG Converter

A Word document is one picture per page: a Letter page at 200 dpi is 1,700 × 2,200 pixels

Converting DOCX to JPG means taking each page of a Word document and saving it as an image file, much like a photo of the page. The tool above draws your document inside this browser and then writes one JPG or PNG per page at the resolution you choose. The pixel size of each image is the paper size in inches multiplied by the dpi, so a US Letter page (8.5 × 11 in) comes out at 1,700 × 2,200 pixels at 200 dpi and 2,550 × 3,300 pixels at 300 dpi. An A4 page (210 × 297 mm) comes out at 1,654 × 2,339 pixels at 200 dpi.

The first screen shows a real conversion of a three-page set of sample meeting notes. Hover over the page preview to see the image that will be saved at actual size, and use the resolution bars on the right to see how large the current page would be at each setting. Your document is never uploaded. Only the converter files themselves are downloaded from this site.

When you need a Word document as an image

• The recipient cannot open Word files easily: a DOCX sent through a chat app or text message may not open on a phone at all, or it may open with a substitute font and shifted line breaks. An image opens in any photo viewer and looks the way you sent it.
• An upload form only accepts pictures: some application portals, ticket systems and forum attachments take JPG or PNG but not Word files. If there is a size limit, lower the quality or resolution until the file fits.
• You want one page in a slide, a post or a newsletter: pick just the page you need instead of exporting the whole document first.
• You want to share a page that is awkward to edit: an image carries no text, so it is harder for the recipient to change or copy sentences. If the other person has to edit the document, send the original DOCX instead.
• A signed or stamped page needs to travel as a picture: after you place a signature or stamp image on the page in Word, converting the page keeps everything in one flat picture that is easy to attach.

How to convert DOCX to JPG

1. Press [Choose DOCX] or drop a .docx file anywhere on the workspace. Conversion starts right away, and finished pages stack up in the page list on the left.
2. Pick the format (JPG or PNG), the quality and the resolution. Pages that are already converted are rebuilt with the new settings, so you do not need to upload the document again.
3. If you do not want the header and footer, switch that option off. When it is on, page numbers are filled in again in the order of the converted pages.
4. Uncheck any page you do not want to keep in the page list. [Save this page] under the preview downloads only the page you are looking at.
5. Press [Save n selected pages as ZIP]. If only one page is selected you get a single image file instead of a ZIP. File names use the original name followed by the page number, padded with zeros to the width of the total page count (report-01.jpg … report-12.jpg), so alphabetical order never shuffles the pages.

Choosing a resolution: dpi and pixels

Dpi means dots per inch. For an image you will only look at on a screen, the pixel count matters most. For an image you will print, dpi matters. This tool writes the dpi you choose into the image file itself (the JFIF header in a JPG and the pHYs chunk in a PNG), so a print dialog or the file properties show the same value. An image that a browser creates on its own carries no resolution (the JPG density unit is left blank and the PNG has no pHYs chunk), so programs read it as 72 or 96 dpi.

A large sheet such as A3 at 300 dpi is bigger than 4,096 × 4,096 pixels in area. Browsers on iPhone and iPad cannot create a canvas larger than that, so the tool shrinks only those pages to fit the area limit and shows the real dpi under the preview (A3 portrait at 300 dpi becomes about 294 dpi).

JPG or PNG, and how quality changes the size

JPG makes a file smaller by throwing away detail the eye notices least, and a lower quality number throws away more. PNG throws nothing away. A page of mostly text on a white background does not make a PNG as large as you might expect, but a page full of photos makes a much larger one. The table below shows the sizes of page 1 of the first-screen sample document (US Letter, with a table and text) as actually saved in Chrome.

Going from 200 dpi to 300 dpi multiplies the pixel count by 2.25, but the JPG for this page grew by only about 1.8 times (216 to 388 KB). A document with photos or large colored areas grows by more, and each browser produces slightly different sizes. For exact numbers, read the resolution bars on the workspace with your own document.

Page breaks and page numbers

Word works out lines and pages itself, using the widths of the fonts installed on your computer. A browser cannot repeat that calculation exactly, so this tool follows the page information stored in the document first and only splits what is left.

• Manual page breaks and section breaks: kept as they are.
• Page positions Word recorded when it saved: used when the document has them. DOCX files made by other programs often do not.
• Content taller than one page: moved to the next page at the lowest point that does not cut through a line of text, a table row or a picture. A picture or a table row taller than a full page has to be cut.
• Page number (PAGE) and total pages (NUMPAGES): Word stores these as fields together with the number it had when saved. Using that stored number would print the same page number on every page, so the tool finds both fields in the header and footer and fills them in again with the conversion order (1, 2, 3 …) and the actual number of converted pages.

For that reason the page count and the place where each page ends can differ a little from what you see in Word. If the pages must match Word exactly, use Word's [Save As] to save a PDF, then convert the PDF to images.

Common mistakes

• Uploading a .doc file: the old Word format (.doc) has a different structure and cannot be read. Open it in Word and save it again as .docx. Macro-enabled documents (.docm) and templates (.dotx) need the same re-save before you upload them.
• Always saving at 300 dpi: chat apps often compress large photos again when you send them, so a 300 dpi image may arrive smaller anyway. For a document that will only be read on a screen, 150 to 200 dpi is enough.
• Assuming PNG is always better: for text-heavy pages the difference between JPG high (92) and PNG is often hard to see at 100% size, and in the example above the PNG was 22% larger. Compare the edges of the text with the magnifier yourself, and choose JPG if there is a size limit.
• A document whose page numbers restart in each section: this tool does not follow per-section restarts or Roman numeral formats (i, ii); it numbers pages in conversion order. For such a document, turn the header and footer off or go through a PDF.

Limits and cautions

• If a font used in the document is not installed on this device, a similar font is substituted. When letter widths change, line breaks and page breaks change with them.
• Freely positioned shapes, text boxes and WordArt, and pictures placed behind text, may be missing or drawn in a different place. A shape overlapping the header can hide the header text.
• Comments and tracked-change marks are not drawn. Page numbers in an automatic table of contents appear exactly as Word last saved them.
• Documents with a different first-page header or separate even and odd page headers do not get the matching header chosen page by page. If Word saved no page positions and one section is split into several pages, every page of that section can carry the first-page or odd-page header and footer.
• JPG and PNG files contain no text information, so you cannot search them, copy from them or click links in them. Your original DOCX is not changed, so keep it too.
• A document with hundreds of pages uses a lot of browser memory and can be slow. If you run into trouble, try again in the latest Chrome or Edge on a computer.

File sizes for the same page can differ slightly if the browser or its version changes.
