First of all I'm not very good at Excel macro.
After going through multiple forums, I managed to come up with a code to Crop images in a folder using Excel VBA.
the code opens up each image in Excel, paste in a chart, crop the image, resize to match the height & width and then replace the original image with the edited image.
Macro is working fine with F8 but when I run the macro fully, Images are not getting replaced with the edited one, instead it's replacing with blank image.
After digging through multiple options, the only conclusion I came up with is the macro is running fine in Excel 2013 but it's not running properly with office 365.
Can anybody help me, how to resolve this or have any better code to run?

Before
'Finally export the chart
insert something like this, to make sure that pasting of the image into the chart has finished:
Do
If ActiveChart.Shapes.Count > 0 Then
Exit Do
End If
Loop
The problem is with the pasting. When you tell it to paste the clipboard (image) into the chart, sometimes it ignores you. When you go to export the chart, you end up with an empty image.
It's not that you have to wait for it to paste, because it's not going to - it ignored you. I have no idea why it ignores you, or why it doesn't error out when it ignores you - it just ignores you with no warning. Maybe Windows is just too busy under the hood to paste.
Basically, what you have to do is check to see if it pasted, and if not, paste again....and again....until it finally sees fit to process your instruction.
I debugged, Googled, trialed and errored and banged my head on the wall for week on this and finally ended up with this:
Sub SavePictureFromExcel(shp As Shape, SavePath As String)
Dim Imagews As Worksheet
Dim tempChartObj As ChartObject
Dim ImageFullPath As String
Set Imagews = Sheets("Image Files")
Set tempChartObj = Imagews.ChartObjects.Add(0, 0, shp.Width, shp.Height)
shp.Copy
tempChartObj.Chart.ChartArea.Format.Line.Visible = msoFalse 'No Outline
tempChartObj.Chart.ChartArea.Format.Fill.Visible = msoFalse 'No Background
Do
DoEvents
tempChartObj.Chart.Paste
Loop While tempChartObj.Chart.Shapes.Count < 1
ImageFullPath = SavePath & "\" & shp.Name & ".png"
tempChartObj.Chart.Export ImageFullPath, Filtername:="png"
tempChartObj.Delete

I'm trying to rotate an image inside an user form, here is the cose I'm using:
Private Declare Function GetTempPath Lib "kernel32" Alias"GetTempPathA_(ByVal nBufferLength As Long, ByVal lpBuffer As String) As Long
Private Const MAX_PATH As Long = 260
Dim NewPath As String
Function TempPath() As String
TempPath = String$(MAX_PATH, Chr$(0))
GetTempPath MAX_PATH, TempPath
TempPath = Replace(TempPath, Chr$(0), "")
End Function
Sub RotatePic(deg As Long)
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim p As Object
Dim chrt As Chart
'~~> Adding a temp sheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Add
'~~> Insert the picture in the newly created worksheet
Set p = ws.Pictures.Insert(**PROBLEM**)
'~~> Rotate the pic
p.ShapeRange.IncrementRotation deg
'~~> Add a chart. This is required so that we can paste the picture in it
'~~> and export it as jpg
Set chrt = Charts.Add()
With ws
'~~> Move the chart to the newly created sheet
chrt.Location Where:=xlLocationAsObject, Name:=ws.Name
'~~> Resize the chart to match shapes picture. Notice that we are
'~~> setting chart's width as the pictures `height` becuse even when
'~~> the image is rotated, the Height and Width do not swap.
With .Shapes(2)
.Width = p.Height
.Height = p.Width
End With
.Shapes(p.Name).Copy
With ActiveChart
.ChartArea.Select
.Paste
End With
'~~> Temp path where we will save the pic
NewPath = TempPath & "NewFile.Jpg"
'~~> Export the image
.ChartObjects(1).Chart.Export filename:=NewPath, FilterName:="jpg"
End With
'~~> Delete the temp sheet
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ws.Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
the problem (you can see PROBLEM in the code) is that I don't know how to get the path of the picture that is in image box (I upload the picture through a image dialog)
How can I solve?
May simply try like this
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Me.Image1.Picture = LoadPicture("C:\users\user\desktop\Range.jpg")
End Sub
Sub test()
Dim Ws As Worksheet, fname As String
Dim Shp As ShapeRange, p As Object
Dim Chrt As Chart
fname = "C:\users\user\desktop\TempXXX.jpg"
Set Ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
SavePicture Me.Image1.Picture, fname
DoEvents
Set p = Ws.Pictures.Insert(fname)
p.ShapeRange.Rotation = 90
Ws.Shapes(p.Name).Copy
Set Chrt = Ws.ChartObjects.Add(10, 10, Ws.Shapes(p.Name).Height, Ws.Shapes(p.Name).Width).Chart
Chrt.Paste
Chrt.Export Filename:=fname, FilterName:="jpg"
DoEvents
Me.Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(fname)
'clean temp objects
Kill fname
p.Delete
Chrt.Parent.Delete
End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
test
End Sub
The ".chart" method described above is a hack. It cost me 12 hours of debugging due to the code running faster than the system as it rotates large images (which is pretty much the standard for most phones and cameras these days). Issues such as the resulting image being a blank image, to the unchanged image being loaded back into the UserForm (because the code has run on to insert the image from the specified directory before the system has replaced it with the rotated image. No amount of Wait, Sleep, DoEvents, solved this. It works when stepping through fine but not in real-time for me, I'm afraid.
The solution is to implement the Windows Image Acquisition API. Daniel Pineault has developed a tidy VBA function here. This should be the go-to solution.

I get an excel report each week with images in the comments.
I am trying to loop through all comments in the file, and paste all the comments to the worksheet as pictures
I have tried the method found on the "Ku Tools" website...

Here is the code from the website (that i use exactly)...

cmtTxt = .Text
shpHeight = .Shape.Height
shpWidth = .Shape.Width
.Text Text:="" & Chr(10) & ""
visBool = .Visible
.Visible = True
On Error Resume Next
Set xRg = .Parent.Offset(0, 1)
.Shape.CopyPicture _

When I use this code, it works sporadically
When it "doesn't work", the macro creates an invisible rectangle object
When it does work, it creates a visible rectangle image/object (rectangle shape that can be seen).
In the below screenshot, row 715 contains a visible image (when the macro works right) and row 755 contains an invisible image (when it doesn't work right)
Visible vs Non-Visible
I want to make all 700+ image comments actual images as easily as possible, if anyone has any ideas, they would be greatly appreciated.
My hypothesis is that there might be a size limit, because the macro worked perfectly when I ran it in a small batch of a couple dozen images
Thanks
I am trying to export into my local file a defined Excel range as image (PNG) (it’s named: “ Print_Area” on tab “Summary” Range: P1:AI92 ) . The program runs well, however when I open the file all the imagines are blank
Here is the coding that I am using:
Sub _Daily_Mail()
Dim Rango7 As Range
Dim Archivo As String
Dim Imagen As Chart
Dim Result As Boolean
Set Rango7 = Sheets("Summary").Range("P2:AI92") ' Summary
Sheets("Summary").Select
With Rango7
.CopyPicture Appearance:=xlScreen, Format:=xlPicture
Set Imagen = Rango7.Parent.ChartObjects.Add(33, 39, .Width, .Height).Chart
End With
Imagen.Paste
Imagen.ChartArea.Border.LineStyle = 0
Imagen.ChartArea.Width = Imagen.ChartArea.Width * 3
Imagen.ChartArea.Height = Imagen.ChartArea.Height * 3
Imagen.export "C:\Users\mely\Documents\Imagenes_POS\Informe1.png", filtername:="PNG"
Imagen.Parent.Delete
Set Imagen = Nothing
When I open the file
In Excel 2016 you need to use .Activate command before Paste operation.
Example:
Set rng = Range("A1:C1")
With rng
.CopyPicture xlPrinter, xlPicture
Set oChart = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects.Add(.Left, .Top, 1920, 1080)
oChart.Activate
With oChart.Chart
.ChartArea.Border.LineStyle = 0
.Paste
.Export Filename:="C:\File.jpg", Filtername:="jpg"
.Parent.Delete
End With
End With
I am running into the same issue with office 2016. It appears to be a timing issue. When creating the Chart Object and being able to paste to it. If I step through the code it works as expected and generates my image.
I came up with a fix which appears to work:
For some reason selecting The chart's parent shape before calling the Paste corrects The issue.
Function CopyRangeToPNG(ByRef rngImage As Range) As String
Dim vFilePath As Variant
rngImage.CopyPicture Appearance:=xlScreen, Format:=xlPicture
With rngImage.Parent.ChartObjects.Add( _
Left:=rngImage.Left, Top:=rngImage.Top, _
Width:=rngImage.Width + 2, Height:=rngImage.Height + 2)
With .Chart
.Parent.Select
.ChartArea.Format.Line.Visible = msoFalse
.Paste
With .Pictures(1)
.Left = .Left + 2
.Top = .Top + 2
End With
' export
.Export CStr(ThisWorkbook.Path & "\ImageName.PNG")
End With
.Delete
End With
CopyRangeToPNG = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\ImageName.PNG"
End Function
I currently have a userform in excel with images displayed on it (saved in a temporary folder "C:\Temp\Photos")
What I want to do is have buttons (90, 180, 270) for rotating the images located in "C:\Temp\Photos". Thinking it may be an FileSystemObject but dont know enough about them yet to know how to do this.
EDIT: Added some code by request. Pictures are inserted depending on value selected in combobox. Any changes would reference pic1-pic5 (only ever 5 pics at any time).
Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
pic1 = "C:\Temp\Photos\" & Me.ComboBox1.Text & "\1.jpg"
pic2 = "C:\Temp\Photos\" & Me.ComboBox1.Text & "\2.jpg"
pic3 = "C:\Temp\Photos\" & Me.ComboBox1.Text & "\3.jpg"
pic4 = "C:\Temp\Photos\" & Me.ComboBox1.Text & "\4.jpg"
pic5 = "C:\Temp\Photos\" & Me.ComboBox1.Text & "\5.jpg"
If Dir(pic1) <> vbNullString Then
Me.Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(pic1)
Else
Me.Image1.Picture = LoadPicture("")
End If
If Dir(pic2) <> vbNullString Then
Me.Image2.Picture = LoadPicture(pic2)
Else
Me.Image2.Picture = LoadPicture("")
End If
If Dir(pic3) <> vbNullString Then
Me.Image3.Picture = LoadPicture(pic3)
Else
Me.Image3.Picture = LoadPicture("")
End If
If Dir(pic4) <> vbNullString Then
Me.Image4.Picture = LoadPicture(pic4)
Else
Me.Image4.Picture = LoadPicture("")
End If
If Dir(pic5) <> vbNullString Then
Me.Image5.Picture = LoadPicture(pic5)
Else
Me.Image5.Picture = LoadPicture("")
End If
End Sub
Like I mentioned, there is no inbuilt way to rotate a picture in userform. Having said that, there is an alternative to achieve what you want. Below I have demonstrated on how to rotate the image 90 degrees.
Logic:
Insert a temp sheet
Insert the image into that sheet
Use IncrementRotation rotation property
Export the image to user's temp directory
Delete the temp sheet
Load the image back
Preparing your form
Create a userform and insert an image control and a command button. Your form might look like this. Set the Image Control's PictureSizeMode to fmPictureSizeModeStretch in the properties window.
Code:
I have written a sub RotatePic to which you can pass the degree. Like I mentioned that This example will rotate it 90 degrees as I am just demonstrating for 90. You can create extra buttons for rest of the degrees. I have also commented the code so you shouldn't have any problem understanding it. If you do then simply ask :)

In Action
When you run the userform, the image is uploaded and when you click on the button, the image is rotated!
The only way I see of doing this would be to copy the picture into a chart, rotate it, export it, and re-open it inside the form the same way you are displaying pictures right now.
Try this.
Change
If Dir(pic1) <> vbNullString Then
Me.Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(pic1)
Else ...
To
If Dir(pic1) <> vbNullString Then
pic1 = myFunction(pic1, rotationDegree)
Me.Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(pic1)
Else ...
(And everywhere else this structure is used)
Insert, inside a module, the following function :
Public Function myFunction(myPicture As String, myRotation As Integer) As String
ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(myPicture).Select
Selection.ShapeRange.IncrementRotation myRotation
Selection.CopyPicture
tempPictureName = "C:\testPic.jpg"
'Change for the directory/filename you want to use
Set myChart = Charts.Add
myChart.Paste
myChart.Export Filename:=tempPictureName, Filtername:="JPG"
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
myChart.Delete
Selection.Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
myFunction = myDestination
End Function
EDIT : Took so long to get the time to finish writing the post (from work) that I missed the other user's answer, which seems to use the same logic. However, my approach might be easier to use for you!
EDIT2 : rotationDegree needs to be set to the degree of the rotation (which needs to be determined before retrieving the picture).
