How to extract all images from a PowerPoint presentation?

Question

I have a PowerPoint presentation that is basically a slideshow. How can I extract all the images into a folder?

I've seen articles that direct you to save the presentation as HTML, but this file format is not in the PowerPoint 2010.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

EDIT:

Open the PowerPoint presentation in PowerPoint 2010.

Press [Alt] [F11] on your keyboard.

Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications opens.

Press [Ctrl] [G] on your keyboard.

The Immediate window opens within Microsoft VBA.

Copy and paste the following text into the Immediate window:

ActivePresentation.SaveAs ":\users\\desktop\.htm", ppSaveAsHTML, msoFalse

Press [Enter] on your keyboard.

In PowerPoint, where your presentation once had the filename you had given it, it now says .htm (upon saving the presentation the title bar will revert back to its original name).

Navigate to where your PowerPoint presentation is saved. There is now a folder with the same name as your presentation followed by _files. (Example: HTMLme_files)

Open the new folder.

Included inside the folder are all of the audio and image files used in the presentation.

Answer 2

Edit

If you have a version older than 2010 (unlike me) you can save as and choose html. Then all of your images show up in a folder.

If not, you and choose .png in Save As and this will turn each slide into a .png.

Answer 3

Here is a trick I use in PowerPoint 2010.

• Save the Powerpoint presentation as a XPS Document.

• Rename the saved document, replace the .xps extension with a .zip extension (as XPS documents are actually ZIP files containing a bunch of other files).

• Extract the ZIP file with your favorite ZIP extractor and check in the Resources\Images folder.

You should find in this folder the images that are stored in the PPT.

Answer 4

Your presentation file likely has an extension like PPTX or PPSX. Add .ZIP to the end of the file name (ie, give it a ZIP extension) then doubleclick it in Explorer. This will open the file as though it were a ZIP file or zipped folder, which in fact it is.

Poke around within the folder structure and you'll find all of the original images that were inserted into the presentation originally.
