When you share a PowerPoint presentation online, people have to download it to their computers before they can view it. Sometimes the downloading process can be quite annoying and time-consuming, especially when the file is very large. A good solution to this problem is to convert your presentation to HTML so that people can view it directly online. In this article, we will demonstrate how to programmatically convert PowerPoint presentations to HTML format in C# and VB.NET using Spire.Presentation for .NET.

Install Spire.Presentation for .NET

To begin with, you need to add the DLL files included in the Spire.Presentation for.NET package as references in your .NET project. The DLL files can be either downloaded from this link or installed via NuGet.

            String result = @"E:\Program Files\PowerPointToHtml.html";

using Spire.Presentation;
using System;

namespace ConvertPowerPointSlideToHtml
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            //Initialize an instance of the Presentation class
            Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
            //Load the PowerPoint presentation
            presentation.LoadFromFile(@"E:\Program Files\Sample.pptx");

            //Get the first slide
            ISlide slide = presentation.Slides[0];

            //Specify the file path of the output HTML file 
            String result = @"E:\Program Files\SlideToHtml.html";
