I want to create a word file into A4 slide image (JPG or PNG) to share on facebook, how can I save or convert word file to image, I am told about illustrator but it is not available as adobe is giving only cloud option, what are my possible alternatives?

i want to make a file which can be uploaded to Facebook and users can print that easily. we can't upload PDF to FB. so only option is to convert Word file to image.

With a paid Creative Cloud plan, you have access to Adobe Spark for creating social media posts & graphics.  This might be preferable to MS Word or Illustrator.

One thing to keep in mind is that FaceBook limits the size of uploaded images and will downsample them to fit their specifications. What that means for you is: if your Word file has a lot of text on it, even if you export an image of the page to a respectable 300 ppi resolution, FB will probably take it down to half that, which might make smaller text blurry and hard to read.

If you don't have word, you can drag it to google drive, open it with google docs, then screenshot into a jpg/png format.

 

Mac word lacks native export to bitmapped image format.  On Mac Word  file >> save >> pdf. Then open the pdf in illustrator and export to jpg.

 

If trying to open in Illustrator, you only see cloud option, then something about the word file is not allowing you to convert.

You can save any MS Word document to PNG files, PDFS or a number of other formats ever since Office 2007 already natively. I can't see what any of this has to do with AI even.
