Convert PowerPoint to Word using Aspose.Slides and Aspose.Words

Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET and Aspose.Words for Python via .NET let you process PowerPoint presentations and Word documents programmatically. To convert a PPTX file to Word, render each slide by using Slide.get_image, insert the resulting image into a document with DocumentBuilder.insert_image, and save the document in DOCX format.

Convert PowerPoint to Word in Python

The following example converts every slide in a PPTX presentation to a full-page image in a Word document.

Python code for converting PowerPoint to Wordwith slides.Presentation("presentation.pptx") as presentation:
    document = words.Document()
    document_builder = words.DocumentBuilder(document)

    slide_size = presentation.slide_size.size
    document_builder.page_setup.page_width = slide_size.width
    document_builder.page_setup.page_height = slide_size.height
    document_builder.page_setup.left_margin = 0
    document_builder.page_setup.right_margin = 0
    document_builder.page_setup.top_margin = 0
    document_builder.page_setup.bottom_margin = 0

    image_scale = 2
    slide_count = len(presentation.slides)

    for slide_index, slide in enumerate(presentation.slides):
        with slide.get_image(image_scale, image_scale) as slide_image:
            with io.BytesIO() as image_stream:
                slide_image.save(image_stream, slides.ImageFormat.PNG)
                image_data = image_stream.getvalue()

        page_width = document_builder.page_setup.page_width
        page_height = document_builder.page_setup.page_height
        document_builder.insert_image(image_data, page_width, page_height)

        if slide_index < slide_count - 1:
            document_builder.insert_break(words.BreakType.PAGE_BREAK)

    document.save("presentation.docx")
