Extract Images from Worksheets using ImageOrPrintOptions with C++

Microsoft Excel users can add images to spreadsheets. With Aspose.Cells, it’s possible to read images from Microsoft Excel files and save them to a local drive. This article shows how.

The sample code below shows how to extract images from an Excel file and save them.

#include <iostream>
#include "Aspose.Cells.h"
using namespace Aspose::Cells;
using namespace Aspose::Cells::Drawing;

int main()
{
    Aspose::Cells::Startup();

    // Source directory path
    U16String srcDir(u"..\\Data\\01_SourceDirectory\\");

    // Output directory path
    U16String outDir(u"..\\Data\\02_OutputDirectory\\");

    // Open a template Excel file
    Workbook workbook(srcDir + u"sampleExtractImagesFromWorksheets.xlsx");

    // Get the first worksheet
    Worksheet worksheet = workbook.GetWorksheets().Get(0);

    // Get the first Picture in the first worksheet
    Picture pic = worksheet.GetPictures().Get(0);

    // Define ImageOrPrintOptions
    ImageOrPrintOptions printoption;

    // Specify the image format
    printoption.SetImageType(ImageType::Jpeg);

    // Save the image
    pic.ToImage(outDir + u"outputExtractImagesFromWorksheets.jpg", printoption);

    std::cout << "Image extracted successfully!" << std::endl;

    Aspose::Cells::Cleanup();
}
