Import Word Documents With Inline Images
In a typical case-study or technical tutorial, you might have 10–20 images embedded in your Word document. Manually saving each one, re-titling them for SEO, and re-inserting them into WordPress can take longer than writing the article itself.
The problem with images in .docx files
Images in a Word document are stored inside the compressed .docx package. They aren't available as separate files on your computer unless you rename the .docx to a .zip and dig through the subfolders. A tedious process.
How DocxToWP extracts and uploads images
DocxToWP handles this in three silent steps:
- Decompression: We read the raw image binaries from the Word file.
- SEO Naming: We automatically name the images based on your post title and the image's position to help with image SEO.
- Media Library Integration: We upload the files to your WordPress Media Library and generate all the necessary thumbnails.
Step-by-step image import guide:
- Drag your
.docxinto the DocxToWP upload area. - The plugin instantly processes the file.
- On the Preview Screen, you'll see your images appearing exactly where they were in Word.
- You can click any image in the preview to add Alt Text or Caption metadata before it’s even published.
DocxToWP supports PNG, JPEG, and even SVG images embedded in Word documents.
