ASPOSE.SLIDES FOR SHAREPOINT · FARM SOLUTION, NOT A LIBRARY · ONE SETUP.EXE PER SHAREPOINT GENERATION · NO MICROSOFT POWERPOINT
Convert presentations inside SharePoint.
Aspose.Slides for SharePoint is a deployed solution, not a component you program against. You download one archive and run the Setup

Windows Server, on-premises, inside your own SharePoint farm. The documented system requirements list Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, and SharePoint Server 2010, 2013, 2016 and 2019; Service Pack 2 or later is recommended for WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007, while 2016 and 2019 are serviced by feature packs and public updates instead. The 26.7 archive ships a solution package and a matching installer for each of 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016 and 2019, and you run the one that matches your farm. That version-specific installer carries a minimum-version gate of its own: Setup2019.exe.config declares Require=“MOSS”, MinSharePointVersion 12.0.0.0 and no maximum. Aspose’s installation documentation adds three further conditions it says the installer checks — the SharePoint database online, the WSS Administration and Timer services running, and an account allowed to deploy SharePoint solutions. Deployment puts a version-specific Aspose.Slides.SharePoint assembly into the Global Assembly Cache and adds SafeControl entries to web.config; activation is scoped to a site collection, and in the 2007 package a feature receiver copies resource files into App_GlobalResources on the parent web application. The licence is a second solution package, Aspose.Slides.SharePoint.License.wsp, shipped in its own archive and deployed from the server console with stsadm.exe; until it is deployed, every exported document carries an evaluation watermark on each slide. No Microsoft PowerPoint and no Office automation on the server. Every supported host is an on-premises server product, so this is a farm solution rather than a SharePoint Online or Microsoft 365 add-in.
Prefer not to host it yourself? The same work is available as a hosted REST API through Aspose.Slides Cloud.
5 .wsp
One solution package per SharePoint generation — Aspose.Slides.SharePoint2007.wsp, 2010.wsp, 2013.wsp, 2016.wsp and 2019.wsp — shipped in one archive alongside Setup2007.exe, Setup2010.exe, Setup2013.exe, Setup2016.exe and Setup2019.exe. You deploy the one that matches your farm. A licensed install deploys a second package, Aspose.Slides.SharePoint.License.wsp, over the top; without it the solution runs in evaluation mode.

Export targets named by the shipped 26.7 assembly, whose own feature description reads: “Converts documents with Aspose.Slides. Supports converting to pdf, tiff, xps, pps, ppsx, odp, pptm, ppsm, potx, potm, html and swf formats.” Its resource table also carries notes-view targets for PDF, TIFF and SWF. The 2007 package’s resource file is narrower: PDF, TIFF and XPS only.
WSS 3.0 to 2019
Supported SharePoint hosts on the documented system requirements page, six of them, every one an on-premises server product. The current download page names four — WSS 3.0, MOSS 2007, SharePoint Server 2013 and SharePoint Server 2019 — while the 26.7 archive itself ships solution packages for 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016 and 2019.

Microsoft PowerPoint installations on the server. Conversion runs in managed code inside the SharePoint worker process, with no Office automation anywhere in the path.

Capabilities, one line each
Everything below happens in the SharePoint UI, done by a person browsing a document library. Activating the feature on a site collection is what makes the command appear there, and a site collection where it has not been activated is unchanged. Conversion runs in managed code inside the SharePoint worker process; the solution has no documented API surface of its own.

Runs where your code already runs
Where a build of this library is supported, and what each target is for.
Windows SharePoint Services 3.0
The oldest supported host, and one of the two the installation guide is written against. Service Pack 2 or later is recommended. Named on the current download page.
WSS 3.0 · ON-PREMISES
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
Standard and Enterprise both, and the other host the installation guide is written against. Service Pack 2 or later is recommended. Named on the current download page.
MOSS 2007 · ON-PREMISES
SharePoint Server 2010
Listed in the documented system requirements. Deployed exactly the same way: one solution package, activated per site collection. The 26.7 archive ships Aspose.Slides.SharePoint2010.wsp with Setup2010.exe.
SP2010 · FARM SOLUTION
SharePoint Server 2013
Listed both in the documented system requirements and on the current download page as a supported server.
SP2013 · FARM SOLUTION
SharePoint Server 2016
Listed in the documented system requirements; the 26.7 archive ships Aspose.Slides.SharePoint2016.wsp with Setup2016.exe. Serviced by feature packs and public updates rather than service packs, so no service pack level applies here.
SP2016 · FARM SOLUTION
SharePoint Server 2019
The newest supported host, named on the current 26.7 download page alongside WSS 3.0, MOSS 2007 and SharePoint Server 2013. Serviced by public updates rather than service packs.
SP2019 · FARM SOLUTION
This is a deployed solution, not a component you program. If you need to convert presentations from your own code, Aspose ships separate libraries for .NET, Java, C++, Python and Node.js.All high-code APIs →
Start with the trial, license when you ship
The trial is the full API. It applies an evaluation watermark when a presentation is opened or saved and caps text extraction at one slide, so you can test the formats you actually care about before you talk to anyone. A temporary licence lifts both for 30 days.
If you don't want a library
Aspose.Slides Cloud is a hosted REST API for loading, creating, editing and converting presentations.
No-code apps
In use
The product worked as advertised, the documentation was easy to follow, and the support forums were all the help we needed. The final solution that we deployed has exceeded our initial expectations by a great deal.
