Is it Jpeg, Png or Gif? Or have you ever wondered there is such PowerPoint document converter that can allow you to convert and transform PPT document into all these raster images, including Jpeg, Png, Gif and even Jbig2?

PPT Converting Libraries
For using our robust and easy-to-use PPT document to raster images rendering tool in VB.NET program, following assemblies from RasterEdge .NET Imaging SDK package are demanded.
- RasterEdge.Imaging.Basic.dll: basic and core .NET imaging reference for all VB.NET project images and documents pre-processing functions
- RasterEdge.Imaging.MSPPT.dll: the specific PowerPoint document handling library
Programming Requirements
Here are the developing and programming demands that ensure VB.NET PPT to raster image converter can work correctly.
- Compatible with Microsoft Visual Studio versions of 2005, 2008, 2010 and 2012
- Support .NET Framework in versions 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 and 4.5
- Windows 2003, Windows 2008 Server and other operating systems in native 32 and 64 bit binaries
Besides, users just need to have some basic knowledge of VB.NET can use this VB.NET PPT to raster images converter very well.
Converting Demos
In this tutorial page, users can get both the complete free demo APIs and sample codes in VB.NET programming language. Of course, if you are developers or end users in Visual C#.NET, you need to link to
C#.NET PowerPoint document to raster images conversions.
Sample Methods
Finishing the PowerPoint document to raster images conversions in VB program needs two steps:
- First, define the entire PPT document or just a certain PPT slide/page to be rendered into image object - REImage;
- Then, convert and save the rendered image into any compatible raster image file.
' Render PPTXDocument to get a REImage collection, or choose specific slide to render.
Private Function GetPage(pageIndex As Integer) As BasePage Implements PPTXDocument.GetPage
End Function
Private Function toImage() As BaseImage Implements PPTXPage.toImage
End Function
Private Function toImage(height As Integer, width As Integer) As BaseImage Implements PPTXPage.toImage
End Function
' Convert the rendered REImage into other image formats using API below.
Private Sub SaveImageFile(image As REImage, filePath As [String]) Implements REFile.SaveImageFile
End Sub
Note: as displayed in the above APIs, users can see method "height As Integer, width As Integer", which is a user-defined option offered for users to set the rendered image parameter on image width and height. Other image rendering and converting choices and options are image pixel, scaling factor and basic resolution, which can be found in
specifying VB.NET PPT converting options.
PowerPoint to Jpeg
You can get the accurate VB demo code on rendering and converting single or multiple PPT pages to Jpeg raster image files in this section.
Jpeg acts as a standard compression mode for digital images. It uses lossy compression which can keep the image contents in high quality after compression.
''' <summary>
''' Render PPTXDocument to image in JPEG format
''' </summary>
''' <param name="PowerPointFilePath"></param>
''' <returns></returns>
Public Function RenderPPTXDocumentToJPEG(PowerPointFilePath As [String]) As List(Of Stream)
' a list of stream which contains the image data of the JPEG image.
Dim buffer As New List(Of Stream)()
Dim doc As New PPTXDocument(PowerPointFilePath)
For i As Integer = 0 To doc.GetPageCount() - 1
Dim page As PPTXPage = DirectCast(doc.GetPage(i), PPTXPage)
Dim temp As REImage = DirectCast(page.ToImage(), REImage)
Dim imageStream As New MemoryStream()
If temp IsNot Nothing Then
temp.Convert(imageStream, ImageFormat.Jpg)
buffer.Add(imageStream)
End If
Next
Return buffer
End Function
PowerPoint to Gif
Please refer to following VB demo code to render and convert PowerPoint (.pptx) document to raster Gif format in your VB.NET program.
Gif is also an image compression mode and famous for its standard LZW data encoding. Because Gif image is often in small size, so it is not widely used for digital photo.
''' <summary>
''' Render PPTXDocument to image in Gif format
''' </summary>
''' <param name="PowerPointFilePath"></param>
''' <returns></returns>
Public Function RenderPPTXDocumentToGIF(PowerPointFilePath As [String]) As List(Of Stream)
' a list of stream which contains the image data of the GIF image.
Dim buffer As New List(Of Stream)()
Dim doc As New PPTXDocument(PowerPointFilePath)
For i As Integer = 0 To doc.GetPageCount() - 1
Dim page As PPTXPage = DirectCast(doc.GetPage(i), PPTXPage)
Dim temp As REImage = DirectCast(page.ToImage(), REImage)
Dim imageStream As New MemoryStream()
If temp IsNot Nothing Then
temp.Convert(imageStream, ImageFormat.Gif)
buffer.Add(imageStream)
End If
Next
Return buffer
End Function
PowerPoint to Png
Check PPT to PNG image converting sample code in VB.NET class as below.
Png, the short form of Portable Network Graphics, supports lossless and portable compression.
''' <summary>
''' Render PPTXDocument to image in Png format
''' </summary>
''' <param name="PowerPointFilePath"></param>
''' <returns></returns>
Public Function RenderPPTXDocumentToPNG(PowerPointFilePath As [String]) As List(Of Stream)
' a list of stream which contains the image data of the PNG image.
Dim buffer As New List(Of Stream)()
Dim doc As New PPTXDocument(PowerPointFilePath)
For i As Integer = 0 To doc.GetPageCount() - 1
Dim page As PPTXPage = DirectCast(doc.GetPage(i), PPTXPage)
Dim temp As REImage = DirectCast(page.ToImage(), REImage)
Dim imageStream As New MemoryStream()
If temp IsNot Nothing Then
temp.Convert(imageStream, ImageFormat.Png)
buffer.Add(imageStream)
End If
Next
Return buffer
End Function
PowerPoint to Jbig2
VB.NET sample code below is offered to help users to render and convert PowerPoint (.pptx) document into raster Jbig2 file in high efficiency.
Jbig2 is a standard compression form for bitonal (black and white) images and supports both lossy and lossless compression modes.
''' <summary>
''' Render PPTXDocument to image in Jbig2 format
''' </summary>
''' <param name="PowerPointFilePath"></param>
''' <returns></returns>
Public Function RenderPPTXDocumentToJBIG2(PowerPointFilePath As [String]) As List(Of Stream)
' a list of stream which contains the image data of the JBIG2 image.
Dim buffer As New List(Of Stream)()
Dim doc As New PPTXDocument(PowerPointFilePath)
For i As Integer = 0 To doc.GetPageCount() - 1
Dim page As PPTXPage = DirectCast(doc.GetPage(i), PPTXPage)
Dim temp As REImage = DirectCast(page.ToImage(), REImage)
Dim imageStream As New MemoryStream()
If temp IsNot Nothing Then
temp.Convert(imageStream, ImageFormat.Jbig2)
buffer.Add(imageStream)
End If
Next
Return buffer
End Function
