You may be wondering why you have to convert a Word file to image format? Some reasons include that when working with certain types of sensitive documents, one may have to store it as an image as evidence, to avoid being able to edit directly in Word, or due to the nature of your work force you to backup these documents as images.
Of course you can use another device to take pictures of them, but that’s a lot of work, isn’t it? So today I will guide you a few tools to convert a Word file to a jpg format image in the simplest way.

II. Using screenshot tools.

This method is quite simple already, but only used for small and short documents only.
To do this you can use the PrtScr key on your keyboard. Or for Word can use the Screenshot function. Also you can use the Snipping Tool available on your computer’s operating system.
About the above methods, I have a very detailed tutorial already, please go to the link below for reference.

Or you can also upload the document to Gmail, when opened it will be displayed in the available image format and you can take a screenshot. Note that this method should only be used for short texts.
This is how document file will be displayed in Gmail.
