A picture of a page is what you need when the other end will not take a document: a social media post, a chat message, a slide, a website, an online form that only accepts images, or a page to show on a phone without Word. This page lays the Word document out page by page, with its page size, margins, fonts, tables and pictures, and saves each page as a JPG or PNG picture. It is also a Word to PNG converter: pick PNG for sharp text and a lossless file.
The layout comes from docx-preview, the open-source Word renderer behind the site's Word to PDF, and each page is drawn into a picture by html2canvas. It is free to use, with no account and no upload limit, and it runs entirely in your browser: nothing is uploaded, and while the page stays open, a feature you have already used keeps working offline.
- Should I choose JPG or PNG?
- JPG makes smaller files and suits pages with photos; it is saved at quality 92, which keeps text clean but is not pixel-perfect. PNG is lossless, so text and lines stay perfectly sharp, and it suits pages that are mostly text, but the files are larger. Both have a white page background.
- What resolution should I pick?
- 150 dpi suits screens, chats and most upload forms: an A4 page comes out about 1240 × 1754 pixels. 300 dpi is for printing or zooming in, at four times the pixels. 96 dpi gives the page at its on-screen size. Very large pages are drawn at a lower resolution, to at most 12,000 pixels on a side and 16.7 million pixels a picture, which is as large as phones can draw; you are told when that happens.
- Will the pictures look exactly like the document in Word?
- Very close for most documents: text, headings, lists, tables, pictures, headers and footers come out as Word shows them, and pages break where Word last broke them when it saved the file. A font this device does not have is replaced by a similar one, so lines can wrap a little differently; advanced layout such as text wrapped around pictures, text boxes and columns can differ, and comments and tracked-change markings are not shown.
- Can I convert an old .doc file to JPG?
- Yes. A Word 97-2003 .doc is read by the site's own reader (the one behind the Doc Viewer) and laid out from there: text and formatting, tables, pictures and footnotes come across, but headers and footers are left out and the pages come out US Letter size. For the closest match, save it as .docx in Word or LibreOffice first.
- Can I select or copy the text in the pictures?
- No: a JPG or PNG is a picture of the page. To keep the text searchable and copyable, save the document as a PDF with Word to PDF instead. To pull the words back out of a picture, use the OCR Toolkit.
- How do I convert Word to JPG on an iPhone or Android phone?
- Open this page in Safari or Chrome, tap the box and pick the document from Files or Downloads (on iPhone, save an email attachment to Files first). A single picture is saved to Downloads, or on iPhone offered to save to Files or Photos; several pages arrive as a ZIP, which the Files app opens. A long document at 300 dpi needs a lot of memory, so on a phone use 150 dpi or save it in parts.
- Is my Word document uploaded to make the pictures?
- No. The document is read, laid out and drawn into pictures in this browser tab on your device; nothing is sent to this site or anywhere else. Pictures that link to the web rather than being stored in the file are not loaded either.
