how to export images to word file?

December 11, 2022

I am working on a script which saves images to word file. I have been able to create a function to export images.

def exp_images():  #export images to word file
    document = Document()
    paragraph = document.add_paragraph()
    script = paragraph.add_run()
    script.add_text('This is a test sentence')
    script.add_picture('image1.png', width=Inches(6.5))
    document.save('demo.docx')


if __name__ == "__main__":
    exp_images()

The only issue I am facing is how to call that function repeatedly, and the function must save image to new line, and must not overwrite the existing image.
So, I just need help with this.
Thanks

>Solution :

You can pass all the images to your function, iterate all of them, append them to the document and finally save the document.

def exp_images(images):  # export images to word file
    document = Document()
    paragraph = document.add_paragraph()
    script = paragraph.add_run()
    script.add_text('This is a test sentence')

    # loop through a list of images and add each one to the document
    for image in images:
        # add a line break between the text and the image
        script.add_break(WD_BREAK.LINE)
        # add the image to the document
        script.add_picture(image, width=Inches(6.5))

    document.save('demo.docx')

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # call the exp_images function multiple times, loop through a list of images and add each one to the document
    images = ['image1.png', 'image2.png', 'image3.png']:
    exp_images(images)
