Turn your PowerPoint into sharable JPGs—free, fast, and no email signup.
PPT is a popular format for presenting ideas in meetings, classrooms, and conferences. But it’s not always the most practical for sharing.
If you need to send just a few slides to a colleague, upload content to a website, or post visuals on social media, converting your presentation to JPG files can be a more accessible option.
JPGs are easy to open, quick to load, and compatible with almost any device or platform.
This guide shows you how to convert PPT files to JPGs online, quickly, and without the need for additional software.

Why Should You Save Your PowerPoint to JPG?
JPG images are typically smaller in file size than formats like PNG or TIF, making them ideal for sharing or uploading online.
Even without compression, JPG files are much lighter, while still maintaining good image quality. This helps reduce loading times and makes the format especially useful for sharing on social media or via email.
Pro Tip
If you are converting PowerPoint slides to images for social media, first try to adapt the size for each platform you will use. For large, busy slides, focus on extracting key visuals and messages that are more likely to resonate with your audience.
Another benefit is that you can open JPG images on almost any operating system, which makes them ideal for sharing.
With its smaller file size compared to other formats, uploading and downloading it for online sharing takes very little time. This is useful if you want to share part of your presentation using social media, for example.
Lastly, converting PPT to JPG prevents other users from editing the content of the original slides.
Is There an Alternative to JPGs?
Another option is to save your PowerPoint slides as a PDF instead of JPGs. PDFs are also compact, widely supported, and ideal for preserving slide layout and formatting.
To do this, simply download the PowerPoint as a PDF instead of exporting it in JPG format, as described above.
If you'd still like to protect the content of the slides, use our Protect PDF tool to add encrypted password protection. This means that no one can edit your PDF without a password.

Converting PPT to JPG FAQs
Can I convert a PPT with animations and video to JPG?
You can convert a PPT file that contains animations and video to JPG, but only the static content of each slide will be captured in the final images.
JPG is a still image format, which means dynamic elements like transitions, animations, or embedded video clips won’t be preserved.
Instead, the slide will be exported as a flat image showing only the visible content at the time of export.
How can I ensure that my converted JPG files are secure and not accessible to others?
Always use a reputable conversion tool, like Smallpdf, that uses TLS encryption and doesn't store your files on their servers longer than necessary.
How can I convert multiple PPT files to JPG at once?
Smallpdf supports batch conversion of PPT files to JPG with a Pro subscription. This will allow you to upload multiple PPT presentations at once before converting them all to JPGs.
Why does the text in my converted JPG look different from the PowerPoint presentation?
Text that does not convert properly is often the result of missing or unsupported fonts in the PPT file. Try embedding the fonts in your PowerPoint file before converting. Alternatively, you can use universally supported fonts like Arial, Helvetica, or Times New Roman.
