Microsoft Word is one of the most common word processors on the market, but while it is a great text editing solution, managing images in a document can be unfortunate. Selecting images and saving them manually can be a long and tedious process, especially in large files with many pages.
Fortunately, there is a little trick that simplifies the process. Follow these steps to easily extract images from a word processing document.
Extract pictures from Word document
Step 1. You will need some kind of file extraction software. We will use 7zip in this tutorial because it is free and widely available, but you can use any program you like.
Right click on the document you want to extract images from and extract it to any location of your choice.
We recommend installing it in Docs to make it easily accessible. You can also just select “Checkout Here” if you like.

Step 5. Inside the media folder, you should have all the images from the document in one convenient place!
There are several different ways to extract images from a Word document, almost all of which involve changing the file type in some way. However, nothing is easier than a five-step process! With just a few minutes of your time, you have a neat collection of all media from your Word document. Enjoy!
