Extract workbook images for a report asset audit

A workbook can contain logos or screenshots that need separate review. Extracting images lets a reviewer examine those assets outside the spreadsheet grid.

Decide what success means

Compare the assets with the workbook’s visible images. Embedded-image extraction does not produce a screenshot of every chart or worksheet.

Prepare and run

Use a destination directory dedicated to the workbook revision. Keep a record of the source file rather than relying on extracted image names as provenance.

These examples use local sample filenames. Substitute your own paths and check jetformat excel extract-images --help against the installed version before running the task. Put paths containing spaces inside quotes.

jetformat excel extract-images finance.xlsx -o finance-images

This extracts workbook picture assets. It does not render a worksheet or turn native charts into image previews.

Inspect the saved result

Open the extracted assets and use excel to-pdf followed by pdf render when a worksheet preview is needed.

Scope and repeatability

This is a free utility or read operation. It does not need a paid conversion to inspect the result.

Keep the input revision with the result so a later reviewer can reproduce the decision. For a write operation, choose a new output path first; use overwrite flags only when replacing a previously reviewed result is intentional.

See the excel extract-images options and examples for the command reference. Browse related excel commands when the next step requires a different operation.
