Converting Worksheet to Different Image Formats

Converting Worksheet to Image

Worksheets contain data that you want to analyze. For example, a worksheet can contain parameters, totals, percentages, exceptions, and calculations.

As a developer, you might need to present worksheets as images. For example, you might need to use an image of a worksheet in an application or web page. You might want to insert an image into a Microsoft Word document, a PDF file, a PowerPoint presentation or some other document type. Simply put, you want a worksheet rendered as an image so that you can use it somewhere else.

Aspose.Cells supports converting Excel worksheets to images. To use this feature, you need to import the Aspose.Cells.Rendering namespace to your program or project. It has several valuable classes for rendering and printing, for example, SheetRenderImageOrPrintOptions and others.

The Aspose.Cells.Rendering.ISheetRender class represents a worksheet to render as images. It has an overloaded method, ToImage, that can convert a worksheet to image file(s) with different attributes or options. Several image formats are supported, for example, BMP, PNG, GIF, JPG, JPEG, TIFF, EMF.
