PowerPoint to PNG

About PowerPoint to PNG

This tool saves each slide of a PowerPoint .pptx file as a PNG image.

PNG is lossless. Every pixel is kept exactly, so text, lines and icons stay crisp — no soft grey blur around the letters, which JPG adds. That makes PNG the right format when a slide will be read, not just glanced at: in a document, a manual, a website or a printed handout.

One slide gives one PNG. A whole deck gives one ZIP file with the images in order: deck-slide-01.png, deck-slide-02.png and so on.

The deck is opened in your browser and never uploaded.

High resolution, up to 4K

PowerPoint's own export often gives fairly small images, and making them bigger means changing a setting in Windows. Here you choose the size with one slider. For a normal 16:9 deck:

• 1x — 1280 × 720 px
• 1.5x — 1920 × 1080 px (Full HD) — the default
• 2x — 2560 × 1440 px
• 3x — 3840 × 2160 px (4K) — for print, big screens and zooming in

A 4:3 deck keeps its own shape. The image is always exactly the shape of the slide.

PNG or JPG

• PNG — sharpest text, larger files. Best for text, diagrams, charts drawn as shapes, screenshots and code.
• JPG — smaller files. Best for slides that are mostly photos, and for sharing in chat apps.

You can switch on this page before you convert. For the JPG version with its own tips, see PowerPoint to JPG.

Image area and transparent background

Two settings turn a slide into a clean graphic.

Image area decides how much of each slide is kept:

• Whole slide — the full slide, exactly its size. The default.
• Trim empty edges — the slide, with the plain border of background colour cut away.
• All objects (no slide frame) — the image is made from the objects themselves: every picture, shape and text box, cut tight. An object that hangs off the slide edge is kept whole, not cut.

Transparent background leaves out the slide background, so the PNG is see-through behind the text and shapes.

Use All objects with Transparent background to turn a logo, an icon or a diagram drawn in PowerPoint into a tight, transparent PNG — ready for a website, a document or a design tool. Each slide gets its own size. A slide with nothing on it stays at full size.

Transparent background is for PNG only — a JPG cannot be see-through.

Custom file names

By default the images are called deck-slide-01.png, deck-slide-02.png and so on. If the images are going straight into a website, a course or a document, you can name them yourself instead.

Choose File names → Custom and type one name per line. Line 1 names slide 1, line 2 names slide 2, and so on:

• The .png ending is added for you — just type wiring-diagram
• An empty line keeps the default name for that slide
• Slides after the end of your list keep their default names too
• Characters a file name cannot hold (such as / : * ? ") are replaced with -
• Two slides with the same name get -2, -3 added, so no image overwrites another

Your list is kept in this browser, so it is still there the next time you export a new version of the same deck. When the deck and the list do not have the same number of lines, the tool tells you.

What gets drawn, and what does not

Drawn:

• Slide background colours
• Text boxes — size, bold, italic, colour, alignment and bullets
• Pictures (PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP), placed and rotated as on the slide
• Simple filled shapes

Not drawn:

• Charts and SmartArt
• Tables
• 3-D effects, shadows, gradients and glows
• Animations — each slide is saved in its final state
• EMF / WMF images, which no browser can decode

A slide with one of these still becomes an image, with everything else on it intact.

What people use it for

• Putting slides into a Word document, a manual or a report
• Adding slides to a website, a wiki or documentation
• Course material — slides as pictures in an LMS like Moodle or Canvas
• Making a 4K image of a slide for a large screen or a print
• Keeping a sharp archive copy of each slide
• Using a slide in a design tool like Canva or Figma

Good to know

• Only .pptx works. An old .ppt file must be saved as .pptx in PowerPoint or LibreOffice first.
• Fonts are drawn with what your computer has installed. A font you do not have is replaced by a close one.
• The slide background is kept unless you tick Transparent background. Pictures that have their own white background stay white.
• PNG files are larger than JPG — a 4K text slide is often 1–3 MB. For smaller files, use Image Compressor or choose JPG.
• Hidden slides are included.

How to use it

• Drop your .pptx file on the box, or press Choose file
• Leave PNG selected
• Pick an image size — 1.5x for Full HD, 3x for 4K
• For a clean graphic, choose All objects and tick Transparent background
• Optional: choose File names → Custom and type one name per line
• Press Convert to images and watch the thumbnails appear
• Click Download — one PNG, or a ZIP of all the slides
