Want to save or share a Word document as an image? Unfortunately, you can't export a Word document as a JPEG or JPG, but there are some things you can do. See below.
Convert a Word page to JPEG
If you have a Word document that is only one page or you only want a specific page of a larger document, then you can use screenshot software, such as Snip & Sketch for Windows or the Screenshot app for Mac.

The first thing you will need to do is zoom out of the Word document so that the entire page is visible on the screen. You can do this by adjusting the zoom slider in the status bar. Set it so that the entire document is visible.
Then, type “Snip & Sketch” in the Windows search bar. Open the tool and select “New” or press Cmd+Shift+4 on a Mac to open the Screenshot app.
Using the tools, make sure to select the entire page of the Word document, enclosing it in a frame.
Then, if you're using Snip & Sketch on Windows, select the disk icon in the top right to save the image. Mac users will select File > Export.
Give your image a name and select “JPEG” from the “file types” list. Finally, click “Save.”
Paste text as a JPEG in Word (Windows)
As we mentioned earlier, you can't convert a Word document directly to JPEG. However, you can highlight the text in the Word document, save it as a PNG image, and convert it to JPEG.

First, open the Word document that you want to save as a JPEG. Then, select and copy the text that you want to save as an image. You can copy the selected text by pressing Ctrl+c on your keyboard or by right-clicking on the text and selecting “Copy” from the menu that appears.
From there, open a new document by going to File > New > Blank Document.
Right-click on the blank document and select the Paste “Picture” option.
After pasting, the text will look the same as before. But if you click on the text, a box will surround the image, and you will be able to adjust the size, rotate, and wrap the text.
Then, right-click on the image and select “Save as Picture” from the menu.
A Save As Picture dialog box will appear. In it, choose where you want to save the image, type a file name, select “JPEG File Interchange Format” from the file types menu, and click “Save.”
This way you have saved a Microsoft Word document as a JPEG.
Paste text as JPEG (Mac)
The steps to save a Word as a JPEG on Mac are almost the same as the steps listed above. However, the names of some Word features on Mac are different from the names on Windows.

Repeat the steps in the previous section by copying the text you want to convert to JPEG and open a new blank document. From there, right-click and select “Paste Special.”
Select the “ PDF ” option from the “ As ” section, and then click the “ OK ” button.
The text you copied from the first Word document will now be inserted as a non-editable object. When you click on it, a box will appear around the block.
Right-click on the PDF and select “Save as Picture”.
From the “Save” menu that appears, give the image a name and choose where to save it. Change the file type to “JPEG” and then click the “Save” button.
If you don't want to go through all these steps to convert your Word document to JPEG, you can search the internet for a Word to JPEG converter program.
