Before answering the question on how to convert Excel to bitmap image via command line, I would like to share some basic knowledge about bitmap images. You know, most images you view on screen are composed of bitmaps which are maps of dots or bits. BMP, TIFF, JPEG, GIF, PCX, and PICT are common bitmap image formats. If you are look for a document converter which can convert Excel to bitmap images, you are looking for a tool which is capable of converting Excel to bitmap file formats including BMP, TIFF, JPEG, GIF, PCX, PICT, etc. I think VeryPDF docPrint Pro is worth a try.
You can download the command line version of VeryPDF docPrint Pro and get 50 times to try it free. VeryPDF docPrint Pro is powerful application software, and the command line version of it is a kind of all-to-all document converter. It can convert all file formats of Excel to bitmap image files formats for you.
Two steps are required when you use docPrint Pro to convert Excel to bitmap image via command line:
1. Open the command prompt window
To open the command prompt window in Windows XP, you should click Start and then click Command Prompt on the Start menu. Or you can click Start,> click Run, > type cmd, and press Enter. If you are a Vista or Windows 7 user, you should click Start, > type cmd, > and press Enter.
2. Type a command line and press Enter
Depending on the follow basic usage of the main executable file, you should type a command line like the examples:
- Usage:

- Examples:
