About PPT to JPG Conversion
PPT is PowerPoint's legacy binary format that requires PowerPoint or a compatible application to view and present. JPEG is the universal image format displayable on every device ever made with a screen. Converting PPT to JPEG renders each slide as a separate compressed image, creating visual snapshots that can be viewed, shared, and embedded anywhere without presentation software.
The conversion opens the PPT binary, renders each slide using the presentation engine, and encodes the result as a JPEG image at the specified resolution and quality. All visual elements — text, shapes, backgrounds, images, SmartArt, and even animation final states — are baked into flat image files.
Why Convert PPT to JPG?
Legacy PPT files are increasingly difficult to open correctly. Modern software may render them with formatting differences, missing fonts, or degraded animations. Converting to JPEG captures the visual appearance at a single point in time, preserving the design as it was intended. This is especially valuable for archiving old presentations where the original PowerPoint version that created them is no longer available.
JPEG slides also enable sharing in contexts where PPT cannot reach — social media posts, messaging apps, web pages, email bodies, and print materials. A single slide shared as a JPEG image is instantly viewable by anyone, without installing software or dealing with format compatibility.
Common Use Cases
- Archive legacy PPT presentations as universally viewable image files
- Share specific slides from old PPT files on social media or messaging apps
- Create slide thumbnails for a visual presentation catalog or library
- Embed PPT slide visuals in web pages and HTML emails
- Preserve the exact visual appearance of PPT slides before the format becomes harder to render accurately
How It Works
LibreOffice opens the PPT binary file by parsing the OLE2 compound document structure, reconstructing the slide data, text runs, images, shapes, and drawing objects. Each slide is rendered to an internal bitmap at the target DPI (default 150) using LibreOffice Impress's rendering engine with font antialiasing and shape effects. The bitmap is compressed as JPEG using DCT compression at the specified quality (default 85%). One numbered JPEG file is produced per slide. Standard 4:3 slides from the PPT era produce images with a 4:3 aspect ratio.
Quality & Performance
At 150 DPI and quality 85%, slides are clearly readable with clean text and well-rendered graphics. PPT files from the 97-2003 era typically used simpler visual designs than modern PPTX, so the rendering is generally straightforward. Font substitution may occur if the original PPT used fonts not available on the server — standard fonts like Arial, Times New Roman, and Comic Sans are available, but rare decorative fonts may be substituted. JPEG compression artifacts are minimal at quality 85%.

Tips for Best Results
- 1Use 150 DPI for screen sharing and 300 DPI for printing
- 2Quality 85% provides an excellent balance between image quality and file size
- 3Archive both the JPEG output and the original PPT file as a preservation strategy
- 4Review font rendering — older PPT files may use fonts that are no longer commonly installed
- 5Check that all slides rendered correctly, especially those with embedded OLE objects
