Step-by-step: Using Clarest XPS2Image Converter (formerly TreasureUP XPS to Image Converter)
1. Download & install
- Go to the official Clarest download page and download the XPS2Image Converter installer for your OS (Windows assumed).
- Run the installer and follow prompts (Accept license, choose install folder).
- Launch the application after installation completes.
2. Launch and set up
- Open Clarest XPS2Image Converter.
- If prompted, enter any license key or choose the free/trial mode.
- Confirm output folder in the settings or via the main window’s “Output” field.
3. Add XPS files
- Click Add File(s) or drag-and-drop one or multiple .xps/.oxps files into the file list.
- Use Add Folder to import all XPS files from a folder.
4. Choose output format & options
- From the Output Format dropdown, select an image format: PNG, JPEG, TIFF, BMP, GIF.
- Configure format-specific options:
- JPEG: set quality (e.g., 80–90).
- PNG: choose compression/bit depth if available.
- TIFF: select single- or multi-page, compression (LZW, none).
- Set resolution/DPI (e.g., 150–300 DPI for print-quality).
- Choose color mode: Color, Grayscale, or Monochrome.
- Enable Keep Original Page Size or set custom dimensions.
5. Page range & layout
- For multi-page XPS, set page range (All, specific pages, or odd/even).
- Choose layout options if converting multiple pages per image (e.g., 2-up, 4-up) or merging pages into one image file.
6. Filename & output folder settings
- Set filename pattern (e.g., {OriginalName}page{PageNumber}).
- Choose whether to create subfolders per document.
- Confirm output folder path and ensure write permissions.
7. Advanced options (if available)
- Enable OCR export (if supported) to generate searchable text or separate TXT files.
- Enable metadata preservation.
- Set post-processing actions: open output folder after conversion, delete source files after successful conversion, or compress outputs into a ZIP.
8. Start conversion
- Click Convert, Start, or the main action button.
- Monitor progress bar and any per-file status messages.
- On completion, check the summary for succeeded/failed conversions.
9. Verify output
- Open several converted images to confirm resolution, color accuracy, and page ordering.
- Re-run conversions with adjusted settings if needed (e.g., higher DPI, different compression).
10. Batch automation & command line (if supported)
- For repetitive tasks, use batch mode: add multiple files/folders and apply a single settings profile.
- If a CLI is available, use the command-line syntax to script conversions. Example template:
Code
xps2image.exe -i “C:\input\file.xps” -o “C:\output\%name%page%page%.png” -f png -dpi 300 -q 90
Troubleshooting tips
- If images are blank or clipped: increase DPI or disable “fit to page”.
- If conversion fails on specific files: open XPS in a viewer to confirm file integrity.
- If output files are very large: lower DPI or increase compression/quality trade-off.
- For color issues: switch color mode or test with a different output format.
