How to Convert Text File to JPG using Java

This short article explains the workflow using one of the popular document conversion libraries to convert Text file to JPG using Java and how to use these instructions for creating the code for the Java TXT to JPG converter application. This workflow does not depend on any other third-party software and can be quickly consumed on any of the popular operating systems like Linux, Windows, and macOS. Here are the stepwise instructions and a sample code snippet for converting text to image format.

Steps to Convert Text File to JPG using Java

  1. Install GroupDocs.Conversion for Java from the Maven repository in Java application for implementing Text file to JPG functionality
  2. Import essential classes for performing document transformation from Text to JPG format
  3. Create an instance of the Converter class for loading the input TXT file for transforming to JPG
  4. Create an object of the ImageConvertOptions class for defining the convert options for customizing the output JPG file
  5. Finally, call the Convert method to save TXT as a JPG file on the disk

The above stepwise instructions cover the full workflow to create the ability to convert TXT file to JPG using Java. Before starting to write the code, you have to follow the first step and install the required conversion library from the Maven repository and then use the rest of the points for performing the document transformation. The second step enables you to import the essential classes and then the next step helps you to initialize the Converter class for loading the input document. The next two points explain how to customize the converted image file and how to save the resultant file to the hard disk.

Code to Convert Text File to JPG using Java

In the above code snippet, we have used the workflow explained in the earlier section to develop the application to convert Text to JPEG in Java. This example contains a few lines of code that consist of API calls of the mentioned library. To execute this sample code, you need to tweak the file paths after setting the conversion library. Further, you can enhance this example by setting up various properties using the ImageConvertOptions object for customizing the resultant image document.

We have discussed the detailed procedure to convert Text file to JPG in Java and produced a sample code for it. Recently, we published an article on converting TeX to HTML using Java, take a look at how to convert TeX to HTML in Java post for more information.
