doc.Protect(ProtectionType.ReadOnly, "password");
// call save method while passing SaveFormat.Png
document.Save("output.png", SaveFormat.Png);

What is EML File Format?
The EML file format, standing for Electronic Mail, is a widely used file format for storing email messages. It is primarily associated with email clients such as Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, and Windows Mail. EML files contain the entire contents of an email message, including the sender and recipient information, subject, date, attachments, and the message body.
EML files are formatted in plain text and adhere to the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) standard, which allows for the inclusion of various types of content within an email message, such as text, images, and attachments. This makes EML files highly versatile and compatible with different email clients and platforms.
The EML format is commonly used for archiving or transferring individual email messages. It provides a convenient way to store emails as separate files, making it easier to organize and retrieve specific messages when needed. EML files can be opened and viewed in compatible email clients, allowing users to read and interact with the contents of the email message.
Furthermore, EML files can be easily shared via email or other file transfer methods. They preserve the original formatting, ensuring that the recipient sees the email exactly as it was sent, including any attachments or embedded images.
In addition to being used for individual email messages, EML files are also used in email migration and backup processes. They allow for the transfer of email messages between different email clients or the creation of backups to safeguard important communications.
What is IMAGE File Format?
Image files are computer files specifically designed to store digital images. These files come in various types, such as bitmap, JPEG, GIF, and TIFF, each with its own characteristics and applications. The file type determines the software program used to open and view the image.
Bitmap files, also known as raster images, consist of a grid of individual pixels, each assigned a specific color value. When viewed from a distance, these pixels blend together to create a cohesive image. Bitmap files tend to be large in size due to the amount of detailed information they contain.
JPEG files are compressed image files that utilize a mathematical algorithm to reduce file size while preserving image quality. This makes them ideal for storing and sharing photos online, as they can be efficiently compressed without significant loss of quality.
GIF files, another type of compressed image format, employ a different algorithm than JPEG. GIF files can store more colors and produce better image quality, but they are limited to a maximum of 256 colors, making them less suitable for storing high-quality images. GIF files are commonly used for animated images and simple graphics.
TIFF files, on the other hand, are uncompressed image files. They do not utilize any compression algorithms, resulting in larger file sizes compared to other image formats. TIFF files are typically used for storing high-quality images that require editing or printing.
Each image file format serves different purposes and is suited for specific use cases. Bitmap files are detailed but large, JPEG files offer efficient compression, GIF files are suitable for animations and simple graphics, and TIFF files provide uncompressed, high-quality images.
