How does Microsoft Word handle image quality?

By default, Microsoft Word compresses images to reduce file size. Once images are compressed, the original quality cannot be recovered. To ensure you use the highest-quality images, the image compression should be turned off before saving the document.

You can disable image compression in Word's settings:
PC: File > Options > Image Size and Quality > choose Do not compress images in file and set default to High fidelity
Mac: File > Preferences>Edit > Image Size and Quality > choose Do not compress images in file and set default to High fidelity
