XWD to Microsoft Word (DOCX) conversion is the process of transforming an X Window Dump (XWD) raster image file — produced by Unix/Linux screen capture utilities — into a Microsoft Word .docx document, embedding the image and optionally converting it into editable content. This conversion makes screenshots and Unix graphical output easier to share, annotate, and include in Word documents for reporting or documentation.

XWD files use the MIME type image/x-xwindowdump and are typically raw screen capture images from Unix-based systems. DOCX files conform to the application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document MIME type and contain XML-based document data. While XWD files are simple raster images, DOCX employs complex compression and structured XML to enable rich text features.

Preserve quality by choosing "original resolution" or 300 DPI when embedding screenshots to avoid blurry images in Word.
For multiple screenshots, use batch conversion to convert several XWD files to individual DOCX documents or a single DOCX with separate pages.
Note format limitation: XWD is a raw raster dump and does not contain vector or text layers, so converting to editable Word text requires OCR on textual portions.
