SVG output scales without losing the quality of vector content and can be displayed in modern web browsers. Microsoft PowerPoint is not required.

Create a Presentation from the PPT file, access each slide through a variable, and call writeAsSvgToBytes to create the SVG data.

Python code for converting PPT slides to SVG

    for slide_index in range(slide_count):
        slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(slide_index)
        file_path = f"slide-{slide_index + 1}.svg"
        svg_data = bytes(slide.writeAsSvgToBytes())

        with open(file_path, "wb") as output_file:
            output_file.write(svg_data)
finally:
    presentation.dispose()
