Inserting a picture into a document is a pretty easy job (at least on Office documents). But when extracting those images and saving them separately on the hard drive, things start to get tricky. Extracting text from documents containing images is not difficult, and many OCR tools help you do that. But doing it the other way doesn’t seem that simple.
There is a manual way to copy each one to the clipboard and save them with an image editor. But surely there must be a way to bypass this manual drudgery, right? Yes, definitely yes.
Most of us know the WinZip/WinRar trick to archive an image file from a document. However, that doesn’t work for all types of documents, and a non-technical person will definitely want something simpler. So here is our build on the Office Image Extraction Wizard, a simple and powerful Windows tool for extracting images from almost any type of document.
