How to extract images from Powerpoint

You may have a PowerPoint presentation with many images. You plan to use some or all the images in another presentation.

2 methods to extract Images from PowerPoint:

  • Extract images one at a time.
  • Extract all the images at a time.

The first option is useful if you have to handle only a few images. If the number of images is high, the second option is a better choice.
