Extract text from Microsoft Office graphics (IMAGE001)
To convert IMAGE001 graphics to another format, you need Microsoft Word or other Vector Image software.
To convert other file formats to the "Office Export Artifact" file type, you need software like Microsoft Word or a similar tool.
An .image001 file is typically a Windows Enhanced Metafile (EMF) or EMF+ vector graphic generated automatically by Microsoft Office applications when documents are exported as HTML.
Files named image001 (often found in a folder named YourDoc_files) appear when you save a Word document, Excel spreadsheet, or PowerPoint presentation as a Web Page. Microsoft Office generates these files to render shapes, charts, and vector drawings in browsers that support legacy VML or proprietary vector formats. The specific filename image001 acts as a sequential identifier (followed by image002, image003, etc.).
The primary problem is that these files are essentially "debris" from an HTML export. Because they use the proprietary EMF or WMF vector standards, they are not supported by modern web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) and cannot be opened by standard image viewers on macOS or mobile devices. They are designed for internal Windows rendering, not portability. To make these graphics usable for the web, print, or general sharing, you should convert them to widely compatible formats. Use JPG or PNG for raster images (photos), or PDF and SVG to preserve the scalable vector lines of charts and diagrams.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our IMAGE001 converter.
