Free online PPT to PNG converter

Source format: ppt

PPT is the classic Microsoft PowerPoint presentation format used for slide decks created in older versions of PowerPoint. It is commonly used in business, education, training, and conference presentations. A PPT file can contain text, images, charts, animations, speaker notes, and slide layouts, and it is typically edited in Microsoft PowerPoint or compatible office suites such as LibreOffice Impress.

Target format: png

PNG is a lossless raster image format widely used for screenshots, web graphics, diagrams, and individual slide images. Its main advantages are good image quality, lossless compression, and support for transparency. PNG is ideal when you want each slide saved as a separate image for sharing, previewing, archiving, or using slides in documents and websites.

How to perform the conversion

The best method depends on whether you want one PNG per slide or only a few selected slides. For most users, the easiest approach is to export the presentation from PowerPoint or LibreOffice Impress.

Using Microsoft PowerPoint

1. Open the .ppt file in PowerPoint.
2. Choose File → Save As or File → Export.
3. Select PNG as the output type.
4. When prompted, choose whether to export All Slides or only the current slide.
5. Save the file. PowerPoint will create a folder containing one PNG image per slide.

Using LibreOffice Impress

1. Open the .ppt file in LibreOffice Impress.
2. Use File → Export and choose an image format such as PNG, or export the slides as images if that option is available in your version.
3. Adjust the export options such as resolution if needed.
4. Save the exported images.

Using the built-in online converter on 101convert.com

1. Open the 101convert.com conversion page for PPT to PNG.
2. Upload your .ppt file.
3. Start the conversion and download the resulting PNG images.

If you need command-line conversion for automation, a common desktop workflow is to convert the presentation to PDF first and then render pages to PNG with tools such as pdftoppm or ImageMagick. This is useful for batch processing, but it is more technical than using PowerPoint or LibreOffice directly.

Notes on quality and limitations

PPT to PNG is a one-way conversion from editable slides to static images. After conversion, text, animations, transitions, embedded audio, and editable objects are no longer preserved as presentation elements. Each slide becomes a flat image.

Image quality depends on the export resolution. If the PNG looks blurry, increase the export DPI or choose a higher-resolution setting before saving. Very large slides or presentations with many graphics may produce large PNG files.

Some older PPT files may not render perfectly in non-Microsoft software if they use legacy fonts, animations, or unusual objects. For the most accurate results, Microsoft PowerPoint is usually the best choice. If you only need to view or share slides as images, PNG is an excellent format because it preserves visual quality without compression artifacts.
