When someone sends you a document with the images and you have to save one of the images. Right-click on an image, but there’s no way to save it on your computer.
Fortunately, if you’re using Microsoft Office or Google Docs, there’s actually a
n elegant solution that you can use to save any image in any document on your computer.
How to save images from a Microsoft Word document
In some versions of Microsoft Word, you can simply right-click an image and save it to your computer. If this is not the case with the version you are using, you can use a similar trick to extract images from a Word document.
- Open the document and go to File> Save as.
- From the File Format drop-down menu, select Web Page (.htm).
- Go to the point where you saved the file and double-click to open it. It will open in the default browser.
- You can now right-click on images in the document and from the shortcut menu select Save Image As and save the image to the desired location.
How to save images from a Google document
So, if you’ve tried the obvious: by right clicking on the image, you already know it does not work. Instead, if you want to save an image in a Google document, here’s what you need to do:
- Go to File > Download as > Web Page (HTML).
- Open the ZIP file that was saved on your computer.
- Within this ZIP file, you will find a folder called Images, in which you will find all the images that have been inserted in
that Google document.
