Convert PNG to PowerPoint

To convert PNG to PPT, select or drop your PNG on this page, keep PPTX under PowerPoint version and press Convert to PPTX. You get a PowerPoint file holding one slide, named after the picture: chart.png comes back as chart.pptx.

Behind the button, our server places the PNG on a PDF page and rebuilds that page as a slide, so the route reads PNG → PDF → PPTX and is graded Very good. The slide takes the shape of the picture and a size set by its pixels: a 1,280 × 720 screenshot gave PowerPoint's usual widescreen slide, 13.33 × 7.5 inches, and a 2,560 × 1,440 one gave a slide twice as wide and twice as tall.

The slide is not just your picture dropped in. It holds two layers:

• Underneath, a copy of the picture saved as JPEG, in up to four strips, with empty white margins left out.
• On top, the English words in it, read as text and placed one line per text box in Courier New, so you can edit them. The picture still shows the same words, so each line appears twice until you delete one of the two.

We converted test PNGs on 22 October 2026 and opened each slide to see what was read from it:

So check the text boxes against the picture, above all where the text is small, and delete any stray ones. To keep the original look, delete all the text boxes. If all you want is a screenshot sitting on a slide, PowerPoint's own Insert, then Pictures does that without adding text boxes.

Before the PNG goes onto its PDF page, our server fills every see-through part with white. The picture on the slide is a JPEG, which cannot be see-through, so the corners around a round logo stay white, and they show if you give the slide a coloured background.

White or very pale lettering vanishes for the same reason: white on white leaves nothing to show or read, and our white caption gave an empty slide. Make the lettering dark first with Invert image colours, which swaps each colour for its opposite and leaves see-through parts alone. To keep the transparency itself, insert the PNG in PowerPoint rather than converting it.

PPTX is the format of PowerPoint 2007 and later, and the version choice suggests PPT (PowerPoint 97) only for software from before 2007. The older file takes one more step than PNG to PPTX, the PPTX saved again as PPT, so it is graded Good enough. Our test slide came to 66 KB as PPTX and 547 KB as PPT, with the same pictures and text boxes.

This PNG to PPT converter runs on our server, so the free plan allows three conversions a day, one file at a time, up to 25 MB each. Pro and Business take files up to 100 MB and up to 100 PNGs at once, each becoming its own PowerPoint file. Your PNG and its PowerPoint file are deleted 24 hours after the conversion.

A photo is usually a JPG: convert JPG to PowerPoint works the same way. For a logo or icon saved as a drawing, convert SVG to PowerPoint. Not sure why your screenshot is a PNG and your photos are not? JPEG vs PNG explains the difference. Going the other way, convert PowerPoint to PNG to save each slide as a picture.
