While giving a Powerpoint presentation is fairly commonplace in today’s world, there may be times when you need to insert your slides into a video, a Photo Story, or some other application that works with images. Most applications do not work with PPT files natively. However, with a couple clicks of the mouse, you can convert your slides into JPG or GIF images to use in almost any program. Here’s how:
-
Open your Powerpoint file and choose File à Save As (versions 2004 and prior) or choose Office ButtonàSave As à Other formats
- In the Save dialog window, choose either JPG (recommended) or GIF format.
3. Once you click Save, you’ll be asked if you want to save only the current slide as an image or save all of them.
4. All of the images that you chose to convert will be saved in a folder in the location you selected.
Following these procedures will let you save your slides as images for use in other programs like MovieMaker, Word, Photo Story, web pages, etc.
