Hi Rinku,

Thanks for your inquiry.

You can load DOCX file into Aspose.Words Document instance and then remove all images inside that document by using the following code snippet:

Document doc = new Document(@"C:\test\in.docx");

NodeCollection shapes = doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Shape,
true, false);
foreach (Shape shape in
shapes)
{
    if
    (shape.HasImage)
    {
        shape.Remove();
    }
}

Also, please visit the following link to learn how to extract images from a Document by visiting the following link:
https://docs.aspose.com/words/net/working-with-images/

Once the document is loaded and all images are removed/extracted, you would be able to easily insert elements after reading the article suggested below:
https://docs.aspose.com/words/net/programming-with-documents/

Finally, I would suggest you to please read the following API page for a variety of saving options:

But I need to read the docx without any images from the beginning. So that I will not store any images in memory(Sometimes user can upload big size images in template)… Is this possible with aspose???

Hello
Thanks for your request. I’m afraid there is no way to achieve what you need using Aspose.Words, without loading the document to Aspose.Words Document Object Model.

Hi there,

Thanks for your inquiry.

We have an interface where you can choose to load or skip images during document open: https://reference.aspose.com/words/net/aspose.words.loading/iresourceloadingcallback/.

However I’m afraid this only takes effect when HTML based formats are loaded, and not OOXML documents. We will look into extending this behavior for all load formats so you can skip loading images. I have linked your request to the appropriate issue. We will inform you as soon as there are any developments.

I’m afraid in the mean time you will need to use the work around described by Awais.

Thanks,

Hi
Thanx for your quick replies. So if I remove images after loading ,whether I have to load all the images back while saving the document after processing or Aspose will take care of that???

Hello

Hi
What ever links and example you are giving are in .net. If you can give some java examples it will be a great help. Because I am working on Aspose.words java.

Thank You

Hello Rinku,
Thanks for your inquiry. The same for Java
You can load DOCX file into Aspose.Words Document instance and then remove all images inside that document by using the following code snippet:

Document doc = new Document("C:\\test\\in.docx");
NodeCollection shapes = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.SHAPE, true, false);
for (int i = 0; i < shapes.getCount(); i++)
{
    Shape shape = (Shape)shapes.get(i);
    if (shape.hasImage())
    {
        shape.remove();
    }
}
