I found myself in need of exporting PowerPoint slides from a presentation and was fairly excited when I found that you could save them off in standard image formats. The problem is that Microsoft conveniently exports all images with a resolution of 960 x 720 pixels, which is not the resolution I wanted. You can, however, specify the resolution if you are willing to put a macro into your project:
Sub ExportSlides()
For i = 1 To ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Count
Dim fileName As String
If (i > 10) Then
fileName = “C:\PowerPoint Export\Slide” & i & “.png”
Else
fileName = “C:\PowerPoint Export\Slide0” & i & “.png”
End If
ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange(i).Export fileName, “PNG”, 1280, 720
Next
End Sub
When you call the Export method you can specify the file type as well as the dimensions to use when creating the image. If the macro approach is not your thing, then you can also modify the default settings through the registry:
