Word to HTML Conversion- Loss of image quality

conversionhtmlimagesmicrosoft word

I have a word document which has formulas and other things as images.Now when I convert this document to a HTML file (Save as Webpage) the images experience a loss in quality.

This is negligible in small images where original is 55×25 and converted is 53×22 or something similar,but the problem comes in big images where I get loss of around 15 pixels which is very much visible and looks ugly with the size messed up.

The image in word is of .emz type and the exported file is .png.So since PNG is lossless I have no idea why is this occurring and also the 'do not compress images option' is also checked so that images do not experience quality loss.Note that when I try to export each image individually then it gets saved in its original quality.

What is wrong here? Why does word produce images of lesser quality when conversion.Is there any other tool I can use besides the built in word conversion utility that produces better results.

You need to disable the compression setting

Click the Office Button, and then click Save As. 
Click Tools, and then click Compress Pictures. 
Click Options. 
Click to clear the Automatically perform basic compression on save check box. 
Click OK. 
In the Compress Pictures dialog box, click Cancel.
Note:  Clicking OK on this dialog will not prevent the issue from occurring.

you can also do the same in word 2010 as shown in this picture by going to file > options then follow this window

If all else fails you could simply add the html code yourself to link the image from the source file so you dont need to convert it

 <img src="name of image" alt="image description here" height="42" width="42">
