Aspose.Words Image File Processor for .NET

The Aspose.Words Image File Processor for .NET allows developers to export documents to image formats such as TIFF, JPEG, PNG, BMP, EMF, and GIF. It provides high-quality rendering of document pages as static images, enabling integration into printing, archiving, and preview workflows.

Note: The plugin does not support creating or editing standalone image files. It is designed to convert documents into image formats or render specific elements from the DOM, such as charts, as images. For creating or modifying documents before conversion, use the Word Processor plugin.

Export a Document as an Image via .NET

  • Reference Aspose.Words in your .NET project to enable document rendering capabilities.
  • Activate your license keys (metered licensing).
  • Instantiate the Document class and load the source document (e.g., DOCX, ODT, or RTF).
  • Use the Document.Save method and specify the desired image format, such as SaveFormat.Jpeg or SaveFormat.Png.
  • Optionally configure image save options using the ImageSaveOptions class for resolution, page selection, or color mode.
  • Execute Document.Save to export one or multiple pages of the document as image files.
