            //Load a PowerPoint document
            presentation.LoadFromFile(@"Sample.pptx");

            int i = 0;
            //Iterate through all slides in the PowerPoint document
            foreach(ISlide slide in presentation.Slides)
            {                 
                //Save each slide as PNG image
                Image image = slide.SaveAsImage();
                string fileName = string.Format("ToImage-img-{0}.png", i);
                image.Save(fileName, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
                i++;
            }
        }
    }
}

Convert PowerPoint Documents to SVG Images in C# and VB.NET

The following are the steps to convert a PowerPoint document to SVG images:

  • Initialize an instance of Presentation class.
  • Load a PowerPoint document using Presentation.LoadFromFile() method.
  • Convert the PowerPoint document to SVG and save the results into a queue of byte arrays using Presentation.SaveToSVG() method.
  • Iterate through the byte arrays in the queue.
  • At each iteration, remove and return the byte array at the beginning of the queue using Queue.Dequeue() method.
  • Initialize an instance of FileStream class and save the byte array to an SVG file using FileStream.Write() method.
  • C#
  • VB.NET
using Spire.Presentation;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;

namespace ConvertPowerPointToSvgImage
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            //Create a Presentation instance
            Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
            //Load a PowerPoint document
            presentation.LoadFromFile(@"Sample.pptx");

            //Convert the PowerPoint document to SVG and save the results into a queue of byte arrays
            Queue svgBytes = presentation.SaveToSVG();
            int count = svgBytes.Count;
            //Iterate through the byte arrays in the queue
            for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
            {
                //Remove and return the byte array at the beginning of the queue
                byte[] bt = svgBytes.Dequeue();
                //Specify the output file name
                string fileName = string.Format("ToSVG-{0}.svg", i);
                //Create a FileStream instance
                FileStream fs = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Create);
                //Save the byte array to a SVG file
                fs.Write(bt, 0, bt.Length);
            }
        }
    }
}
