Convert DOC to JPG

Understanding DOC and JPG file formats

The DOC file format is a widely used word processing format developed by Microsoft. It is primarily used for creating and editing text documents, and it can contain formatted text, images, tables, and other elements. DOC files are typically associated with Microsoft Word, but they can also be opened and edited with other word processing software.

The JPG file format, also known as JPEG, is a popular image format used for storing and sharing digital photos. It is known for its lossy compression, which reduces file size while maintaining acceptable image quality. JPG files are widely supported across various platforms and devices, making them ideal for web use and digital photography.
