How to extract images from a Word document?

Have you ever needed to extract an image from a Word document and have not been able to do it directly? Don't worry! Today I will show you an effective method to do it without complications and without the need to resort to external software. This method takes advantage of the format under which Microsoft has been saving its files since 2007, which makes it quite accessible.

Why is the DOCX format different?

In 2007, Microsoft introduced a significant change in the way Word documents were stored. Previously, files were saved in the .doc format, but then they switched to the .docx format, which is essentially an XML file encapsulated in a ZIP-compliant container. This format allows you to browse documents as if they were compressed files.

How to change the file extension?

Make a copy of the file:
- Before you begin, it is crucial that you make a copy of the original document to avoid data loss.
- Make sure your copy is the one you are going to modify.
Change the extension:
- Change the file extension from .docx to .zip.
- When doing so, your operating system may show you a warning message, be sure to accept the change.
Access the contents:
- Open the .zip file with a compressed file manager, such as 7-Zip.
- Inside you will find several folders; the one we are interested in is 'word' and then the 'media' folder.

What to do once you have accessed the media folder?

Inside the 'media' folder you will find all the images used in the document, often in their original format and ready to be used. These steps ensure that you get the images without loss of quality or need for additional adjustments in editing programs.

Extract the images:
- Select the desired images and extract them to the location of your choice on your computer.

Keep in mind some recommendations

Always make a copy: Always work with a copy of the original document to prevent loss of information.
Check permissions: Make sure you have the necessary permissions to modify file extensions.
Not all changes are reversible: Modifying files in this way may result in not all data being read by Microsoft Word again.

I hope this method will be helpful and allow you to manipulate and extract content from your Word documents in a smooth and efficient way! Don't forget to explore more ways to manipulate and take advantage of your document files.
