About Images to PowerPoint
Turns a set of pictures into a PowerPoint presentation (.pptx) with one picture on each slide. Choose widescreen (16:9) or standard (4:3), fit each picture whole or fill the slide, put the file name under each picture as a caption if you like, and drag the pictures into the order you want. The result is a normal presentation you can open and edit in PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides.
Fit shows the whole picture with space around it; Fill covers the whole slide and trims the edges that do not match the slide shape. Photos taken sideways on a phone are turned upright for you. Pictures wider than 2560 pixels are reduced so a long deck stays a sensible size. Captions come from the file names, so name your files the way you want them to read (a name like "Q3_sales-chart.png" becomes "Q3 sales chart"). HEIC pictures from some phones cannot be read by most browsers; save them as JPG first.
- Which picture types can I use?
- JPG, PNG and GIF go in as they are. WebP and BMP pictures are converted by your browser first, to PNG when they have see-through areas and to JPG otherwise. HEIC photos from some phones cannot be read by most browsers, so save those as JPG first; the tool tells you which files it could not add.
- What is the difference between Fit and Fill?
- Fit shows the whole picture inside the slide with space around it when the shapes differ. Fill covers the whole slide and trims the edges that do not match the slide’s shape, so some of the picture is cut off. Fit is safer for charts and screenshots, Fill for photos.
- How do I change the order of the slides?
- Drag a picture to a new place in the list, or use the up and down arrows beside it, and remove any you do not want. New files you add are sorted by name, with numbers read as numbers, so photo2 comes before photo10. The slide order is exactly the order of the list.
- Are my pictures made smaller or lower quality?
- JPG and PNG pictures that are upright and no wider than 2560 pixels go into the presentation untouched. Larger pictures are reduced to 2560 pixels on the long side so a long deck stays a sensible size, and photos stored sideways by a phone are turned upright.
- Do the pictures get alt text?
- Yes. Each picture is given alternative text made from its file name, which screen readers use, and you can improve it inside PowerPoint.
How to use Images to PowerPoint
Drop your pictures, or choose several at once. They appear in a list in slide order, each with a thumbnail, its size and its file name. Drag a row to a new place, or use the arrows, and remove any you do not want. Add more pictures at any time; they are sorted by file name with numbers read as numbers. Choose widescreen 16:9 or standard 4:3, whether pictures fit whole or fill the slide, a white, light grey or black background, and whether to add the file name as a caption. Press Make presentation, flip through the preview, and download.
When to use it
A quick way to turn photos from an event, screenshots of a process, scanned pages, product shots or a portfolio into something you can present or send as one file. It also suits a slideshow you want to open at a meeting, where a folder of loose pictures would be awkward.
When not to use it
If you want the pictures in a PDF instead, Image to PDF is closer to what you need. If you want text, bullets or a title slide, write them in Markdown to PowerPoint, or add them in PowerPoint afterwards. This tool puts one picture on each slide and nothing more complicated.
Tips for best results
Name your files the way you want captions to read, such as “Q3_sales-chart.png”, which becomes “Q3 sales chart”. Use Fit for screenshots and charts so nothing is cut off, and Fill for photos. Number your files with leading zeros, such as 01, 02, 10, if you want the sort to match your intention, though you can always drag them afterwards.
Limitations
Only one picture per slide. Captions come from file names and cannot be edited here; edit them in PowerPoint. GIFs go in as pictures, and their animation plays only in PowerPoint’s slide show mode if PowerPoint supports it. HEIC photos from some phones cannot be read by most browsers. A presentation can hold up to 100 pictures here, and pictures wider than 2560 pixels are reduced.
Privacy
Your pictures are read and placed into the presentation in your browser, so they are never uploaded. A request that counts the use goes to this site when you download and carries no part of your pictures.
