Convert PPT Slides to PNG Images in Python

Render every slide in a legacy PowerPoint presentation as a PNG image with Aspose.Slides for Python via Java.

Convert PPT to PNG in Python

Aspose.Slides for Python via Java can render slides from a legacy PowerPoint presentation (.ppt) as PNG images without Microsoft PowerPoint. Because a PNG file stores one image, the conversion creates a separate output file for each slide.

Access each slide through a variable, call getImage, and save the returned image with ImageFormat.Png. The scaling values passed to getImage control the output dimensions relative to the original slide size.

Convert PPT to PNG using Python

Load the PPT file into a Presentation, render each slide with getImage, and save each result in PNG format.

Python code for converting PPT slides to PNG

presentation = Presentation("presentation.ppt")
try:
    slide_count = presentation.getSlides().size()

    for slide_index in range(slide_count):
        slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(slide_index)
        slide_image = slide.getImage(2.0, 2.0)
        try:
            slide_number = slide_index + 1
            file_path = f"slide-{slide_number}.png"
            slide_image.save(file_path, ImageFormat.Png)
        finally:
            slide_image.dispose()
finally:
    presentation.dispose()
