How to extract a background image file (.png,.jpg) from a Windows theme file in Win10

1. When you download or create a Windows 7 theme, the installation file is "Themename.themepack". You need to first right-click on "Themename.themepack", select "Rename" and change the extension name from ".themepack" to ".zip". When asked if changing the extension might make the file unusable, just click "Yes".

Note: If you can't see the file extension, see this article: How to show file extension in Windows

2. Open the theme-name.zip file using the zip function of Microsoft Windows or any zip program. Once opened, you will see all the files that make up a Windows 7 theme, as well as all the wallpapers. From here, you can now select any JPG, PNG or other type of image file extension and extract them to any folder.
