Different types of content can be bundled inside PowerPoint presentations, but it can be a pain if you need to use, for instance, a picture from the presentation and have to export it from within the slideshow. Luckily, there are various specialized applications like PowerPoint File Converter Batch can help you convert entire slideshows to a format of interest.

First of all, the application requires your computer to be fitted with .NET Framework, but there’s a high chance it’s already there since modern Windows iterations usually deliver it in the default set of features. More than that, conversion is performed even if the complete Microsoft Office bundle is not installed on your PC.

As far as the interface is concerned, the visual layout makes sure to quickly get you up and running. Most of the space is where you view files up for conversion, along with name and status, file operations on the side, as well as output format selection drop-down menu at the bottom, all forming comfortable navigation.

As input you need to load PowerPoint files under formats like PPT or PPTX. However, there’s a lot more to choose from when it comes to output, with options for PPTM, POTX, POTM, POT, PDF, XPS, THMX, PPSX, PPSM, PPS, XML, MHTML, HTM, GIF, JPG, PNG, TIF, BMP, WMF, EMF, and RTF.

Right before the conversion starts a last window shows up so you can choose where output files go. These can be saved to the same directory as the source, or to a location of choice. You can also include a custom suffix for the name of the new files.

Bottom line is that PowerPoint File Converter Batch gives you the possibility to view and use content in PowerPoint files in the mode you need. However, the entire content is converted, so you might need to spend a little time picking pages of interest, but there are enough output formats at your disposal to help you overcome this minor inconvenience.
