One common challenge you might face is preserving the audio in your Google Slides presentation when downloading it as a PowerPoint file. However, with a few simple steps, you can successfully download your Google Slides presentation with audio and enjoy seamless playback on PowerPoint.

Whether you’re a student, teacher, or working professional, knowing how to convert a presentation from one format to another can be extremely useful. By converting your Google Slides to PowerPoint, you can ensure compatibility with different devices, operating systems, and presentation software, making it easier to share your work with others. This guide will walk you through the step-by-step process, enabling you to download your Google Slides presentation with audio to PowerPoint effortlessly.

Before we dive into the steps, it’s important to note that downloading Google Slides with audio to PowerPoint requires an internet connection and access to both Google Slides and PowerPoint applications. Additionally, the process outlined in this guide is applicable for desktop versions of Google Slides and PowerPoint.

Now that we have a brief overview, let’s delve into the specific steps you need to follow to successfully download Google Slides with audio to PowerPoint. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced user, this guide will provide you with the necessary instructions to make the conversion process a smooth one. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Open the Google Slides presentation

The first step in downloading Google Slides with audio to PowerPoint is to open the Google Slides presentation that you want to convert. To do this, follow the steps below:

Go to the Google Slides website (slides.google.com) and sign in to your Google account if you haven’t already.
In the Google Slides dashboard, you will see a list of your presentations. Locate the presentation you want to download and click on it to open it.
The presentation will open in a new tab, displaying the slides and any audio or media files that may be present.

Opening the Google Slides presentation is the first crucial step in the conversion process. It allows you to access the content and audio within the presentation, which can then be downloaded and preserved in the PowerPoint format.

It’s worth mentioning that before proceeding to the next steps, you should ensure that your Google Slides presentation is properly organized, contains the desired audio recordings, and is ready for download. Take the time to review each slide and audio element to ensure they are in the correct order and functioning as intended. This will help avoid any issues during the conversion process.

Once you have successfully opened your Google Slides presentation, you are ready to move on to the next step and start the process of downloading the presentation with audio to PowerPoint.

Step 2: Go to “File” and select “Download”

After opening your Google Slides presentation, the next step is to navigate to the “File” menu and select the “Download” option. This will allow you to choose the desired file format for download. Follow the steps below to complete this step:

In the top menu bar of the Google Slides interface, locate the “File” tab and click on it.
A dropdown menu will appear with several options. Scroll down and find the “Download” option.
When you hover over the “Download” option, another submenu will appear with various file format options.
Select the file format that you want to download your Google Slides presentation as. In this case, choose the “PowerPoint” format.

By choosing the “PowerPoint” format, you ensure that the downloaded file will be compatible with Microsoft PowerPoint software. This is important if you plan to present or share your presentation with others who primarily use PowerPoint.

It’s important to note that depending on your browser settings, the downloaded file may automatically save to a default location or prompt you to choose a save location on your computer. Pay attention to these prompts and ensure that your presentation is saved in a location where you can easily access it later.

Now that you have successfully selected the “Download” option and chosen the “PowerPoint” format, you are ready to move on to the next step – actually downloading the Google Slides presentation with audio to your computer.

Step 3: Choose the PowerPoint (.pptx) format

Once you have selected the “Download” option from the “File” menu, the next step is to choose the PowerPoint (.pptx) format for your Google Slides presentation. Following these simple steps will guide you through the process:

After selecting the “Download” option, a submenu will appear with various file format options.
Locate and click on the “PowerPoint” format in the submenu.
The Google Slides presentation will start to convert into the PowerPoint format, generating a downloadable file.
Depending on the size and complexity of your presentation, this conversion process may take a few moments.

Choosing the PowerPoint (.pptx) format is crucial as it ensures compatibility with Microsoft PowerPoint software. PowerPoint (.pptx) files are widely used and support various multimedia elements, including audio, making it ideal for preserving the audio in your Google Slides presentation.

It’s worth noting that by selecting the PowerPoint format, any transitions, animations, and formatting styles used in your Google Slides presentation will also be preserved in the downloaded PowerPoint file. This allows for a seamless transition from Google Slides to PowerPoint without losing any visual or audio elements.

Once the conversion process is complete, the PowerPoint file will be ready for download and saved to your computer. At this point, you’re just a few steps away from being able to play the audio in PowerPoint and fully enjoy your converted presentation.

With the PowerPoint (.pptx) format successfully selected, let’s move on to the next step – downloading the converted Google Slides presentation and opening it in PowerPoint.

Step 4: Click “Download” to save the file to your computer

After choosing the PowerPoint format for your Google Slides presentation, the next step is to click the “Download” button to save the file to your computer. Follow these steps to complete this process:

Locate and click the “Download” button, which will be displayed after you have chosen the PowerPoint format.
Depending on your browser settings, you may see a notification or prompt asking you to confirm the download. Click “Save” or “OK” to proceed.
Choose a location on your computer where you want to save the downloaded PowerPoint file.
Click “Save,” and the file will start downloading to the chosen location on your computer.
The download time will vary depending on the size of your presentation and the speed of your internet connection. Be patient and wait for the download to complete.
Once the download is finished, you will have successfully saved the Google Slides presentation with audio as a PowerPoint file on your computer.

It’s important to remember the location where you saved the file, as you will need to access it in the next steps to open it in PowerPoint and play the audio. You may want to save the file in a location that is easily accessible and organized to avoid any confusion later on.

By clicking “Download,” you have completed an essential step in the process of downloading your Google Slides presentation with audio to PowerPoint. Now, let’s move on to the next step and learn how to open the downloaded PowerPoint file.

Step 5: Open the downloaded PowerPoint (.pptx) file

Now that you have successfully downloaded the PowerPoint file of your Google Slides presentation with audio, the next step is to open the downloaded file using Microsoft PowerPoint. Follow these steps to accomplish this:

Locate the downloaded PowerPoint (.pptx) file on your computer. It is usually saved in the default Downloads folder or the location you specified during the download.
Double-click on the PowerPoint file to open it. This will launch the Microsoft PowerPoint software.
The PowerPoint file will open, displaying your Google Slides presentation with all the slide content, formatting, and audio intact.

Opening the downloaded PowerPoint file allows you to access the converted Google Slides presentation and all its associated audio files. You can now manipulate and present the content using the features provided by Microsoft PowerPoint.

It’s important to note that you will need to have Microsoft PowerPoint installed on your computer to open and edit the downloaded file. If you don’t have PowerPoint installed, you can use alternative presentation software that supports the PowerPoint (.pptx) format.

By successfully opening the downloaded PowerPoint file, you’re one step closer to being able to play and control the audio in your Google Slides presentation. In the next step, we will explore how to enable editing and play audio in PowerPoint.

Step 6: Enable editing and play audio in PowerPoint

After opening the downloaded PowerPoint file, the next step is to enable editing and play the audio in your Google Slides presentation. Follow these steps to accomplish this:

When the PowerPoint file is open, you will see a ribbon at the top of the screen with various tabs. Click on the “File” tab in the ribbon to access the options menu.
In the options menu, look for the “Enable Editing” button. Click on it to enable editing mode for the presentation.
Once editing mode is enabled, you can navigate through the slides using the arrow keys, mouse scroll wheel, or by clicking on the slide thumbnails on the left side of the screen.
To play the audio, click on the slide that contains the audio file.
If the audio file is embedded in the slide, it will play automatically when you reach that slide. If it is linked to an external audio file, you may need to click on a play button or an audio icon on the slide to initiate playback.
Adjust the volume and control the playback of the audio using the options provided in the PowerPoint interface.

Enabling editing allows you to interact with the presentation, play the audio, and make any necessary changes or adjustments. By following these steps, you can fully enjoy the audio elements in your Google Slides presentation within the PowerPoint environment.

It’s important to note that the process of enabling editing and playing audio may vary slightly depending on the version of PowerPoint you are using. However, the general concept and functionality remain the same across different versions.

Now that you have successfully enabled editing and played the audio in PowerPoint, you’re ready to move on to the next step – adjusting audio settings if needed.

Step 7: Adjust audio settings if needed

After enabling editing and playing the audio in your downloaded Google Slides presentation in PowerPoint, it is important to ensure that the audio settings are properly adjusted. By correctly configuring the audio settings, you can optimize the playback experience and make any necessary adjustments. Follow these steps to adjust the audio settings:

Select the slide that contains the audio file you want to modify.
Click on the audio object on the slide to select it. You will see a contextual “Audio Tools” tab appear on the ribbon.
Within the “Audio Tools” tab, locate the “Playback” section. This section will provide options for adjusting the audio settings.
You can choose whether the audio should play automatically when the slide is displayed or upon clicking on the audio object.
Adjust the volume slider to increase or decrease the volume of the audio. You can also choose to mute the audio if desired.
Explore additional options such as starting the audio from a specific point, looping the audio playback, or fading in/out the audio.
Repeat these steps for each slide that contains audio, making any necessary adjustments to the settings.

By adjusting the audio settings, you can customize the behavior and quality of the audio playback in your presentation. This allows you to create a seamless and engaging experience for your audience.

It’s worth mentioning that the specific audio settings available in PowerPoint may vary depending on the version you are using. However, the general process of accessing and modifying the audio settings remains consistent across different versions.

With the audio settings properly adjusted, you have successfully completed the final step in downloading your Google Slides presentation with audio to PowerPoint. Now you can confidently present and share your converted presentation, complete with seamless audio playback.

Converting your Google Slides presentation with audio to PowerPoint doesn’t have to be a complex task.

If you’re new to the world of Google Slides, it may come as a surprise to you that extracting images from your presentation can be done in more than one way. In this section, we’ll be discussing the most effective methods.

This straightforward method is the same whether you are using a Mac or a Windows PC. The steps are as follows:

How to import a powerpoint presentation into google slides.

Quick Links

Did you receive a PowerPoint presentation, but you don’t have PowerPoint? Giving up on Microsoft Office and making the change to Google Slides? No problem; Google Slides lets you easily import PowerPoint presentations. And while it might not support some of the same features and effects of a PowerPoint presentation, it works pretty well.

To view a PowerPoint presentation on Google Slides, you must first upload the file to your Google Drive. Open Google Drive , click “New,” and then click “File Upload” to get started.

Related: How to Insert Symbols into Google Docs and Slides

Navigate to your file(s) and then click “Open.”

Alternatively, you can drag and drop a file from your computer directly into the web browser for an easy upload.

Once your file uploads, right-click it, point to “Open With” on the context menu, and then select “Google Slides.”

Google then converts your presentation into a Google Slides file on your Drive account.

After you’ve finished editing your file, you can either share it with others or download and export your presentation back into a Microsoft PowerPoint format by going to File > Download As and then clicking the “Microsoft PowerPoint” option.

If you’d rather download your presentation in PDF, ODP, JPEG, TXT, or other formats, you can do that too.

The file is then downloaded to the browser’s default download folder.

How to Save an Image from Google Slides

I’ve been using Google Drive to create and manage almost all of my projects, including my writings at SoftwareHow.

One problem (more like a hassle) I’ve faced with Google Slides, a sub-product of Google Drive, is how to save an image or several images inside the presentation slides — especially when those images look really good or contain valuable information.

Unfortunately, Google Slides does NOT allow you to directly download images or extract them to a local folder on your desktop. It just reminds me of the old days back when I used Microsoft Office PowerPoint, which also makes it hard to export pictures.

However, there’s a quick way to get around that and save the images to your desktop. You do NOT have to download or install any third-party extensions or plugins.

Table of Contents

Saving Images from Google Slides: Step by Step

Option 1: take a screenshot of the image, option 2: convert the google presentation into microsoft powerpoint, final words.

Here’s how to do it:

Please note that the screenshots below are taken from my MacBook Pro. If you’re on a Windows PC, they will look slightly different. But the steps should be quite similar. Also, I created this simple presentation in Google Slides to make the tutorial easier to follow. My goal is to save this awesome photo to my computer desktop.

P.S. I hope Thomas (my teammate here at SoftwareHow) won’t mind me using this photo. He recently bought a new camera, and it seems his cat Juniper is also excited…seriously, she is reading the user manual! :=)

Step 1: Move your cursor and select the image, then right-click and select “Copy”.

Step 2: Open the main Google Drive page, hit the blue “NEW” button on the top-left, then select “Google Docs”. It’ll create a new Google doc.

Step 3: In the newly created doc, right-click and select “Paste” in order to save the image you just copied from the Google presentation.

Step 4: In the Google doc, click the menu and select File > Download as > Web Page (.html, zipped).

Step 5: Wait until the zipped file completes downloading, then click to open the file.

Note: On macOS, the .zip file can be opened automatically. I’m not sure if it’s the case on Windows 10.

Step 6: Go to Downloads, unzip the archive, locate the folder called “images”, open it and you’ll see all your images. Now I can add this photo of Juniper to my Photos app.

This is by far the quickest and most effective way I’ve discovered to save an image from Google Slides. Plus, you can extract multiple images and download them in one zip file, which saves time. Another reason I like this method is that the image quality is exactly the same as the original file — same size, same dimension. I use the same technique to extract images from Google Docs as well.

Any Other Methods?

Yes — but personally I feel they are less efficient than the one shared above. In case you’re interested, you may also choose one of the techniques below.

Update: Don’t forget to check out the Comments area, several readers also shared some techniques that work.

This method may look like a no-brainer, but sometimes we geeks tend to think too deeply and ignore the easiest solution.

If you’re like me and use a Mac, first click the “Present” button to enlarge the slide, then press Shift + Command + 4 to screenshot the part that your desired image takes. It’ll then be automatically saved to the Mac desktop.

If you are on a Windows PC, you can use the print screen option ( Ctrl + PrtScr ), or use an open-source screenshot program called Greenshot . I won’t provide too many details here as the process is quite easy.

Then extract the media files. This is also pretty straightforward. On the Google Slides menu, click on File > Download as > Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx) .

Once your file is downloaded, you can then refer to this Microsoft guide to get the pictures you want from the PowerPoint.

Although our site, SoftwareHow, is supposed to introduce good software to help our readers solve computer-related problems, it’s not necessary when it comes to addressing a small issue like extracting images from Google Slides.

So, what do you think about the preferred method I just showed to you? Are you able to get your images out of a Google Slides presentation? Or did you happen to find out a better trick to get the job done? Let me know.

Thank you, saved my day.

Saving as an ODP would be another way to get the zip file with images, but there is a bug with Google Slides that doesn’t let you download a large file in this format.. Too bad since this would be really helpful as I don’t have powerpoint.

I always right click and “Save to Keep” this opens up a side bar with the image. From there you can save the image. Much faster than the solutions mentioned here.

when you use save to keep, it seems to save a lower resolution image for me

This is a really efficient solution. No involvement of third party softwares or extensions is a bonus point. Thanks for sharing this.

I found a much simpler and faster way

1. Right click on the image in Google Slides, and click ‘Save to Keep’ 2. Open the note in Google Keep. 3. Right click on the image in Google Keep and click ‘Save Image As…’. Done!

Digging an image out of Google Slides in dev tools is too much for me — a gajillion divs and iframes and js gunk… “Publish to the web” gives you a slim HTML page that is easy to pull images out of with dev tools.

Wonderful idea. Thank you so much!

Now you can right click -> Add to Keep -> Click on it in Keep to open the image -> Drag to Desktop

Extremely helpful. Thank you!

Thank you man. This was super helpful and probably saved me about 1 hour.

A great help, thank you!

Thank you, JP Zhang!!! It worked like a charm!

Its a very good workaround!

Thank you thank you thank you! Annoying workaround, but at least i don’t have to dig through 20 folders of photos to get these again. Really appreciate it!

If you are a bit tech savvy you can use the developer tools from your browser to get to the url of the image. Cheers

You are a life saver! Thank you so much for sharing this!

Another quick way is to download as *.pptx, rename as *.zip, and then look in the media folder. 🙂

Great, thanks for sharing!

Inspired by your suggestions, I found another way that first download the google slides as a pptx file, open it with MS office and there will be an option “save as Picture” for each image.

Thanks! You made my day.

Worked a treat. Thank you!!!

Many thanks!

that works great thank you! only when I put the picture into a shape and copy/paste to goolge docs it just copy the picture without taking over the shape. I know I can crop into shape in google docs but it loses on quality and the picture is blurry.

Thanks for your help on this. What a hassle hey! Managed to follow your process. All the best

it works only simple images not in the case of flowchart image. it only copied line not all content and background-color

Awesome! Saved me so much time at the office today in trying to figure this out on my own. Super grateful!

works like magic! TYSM

The MOST EASIEST solution to download google slide images in 2019 is by right click on the image, and select “Save to Keep”. It will open Google Keep sidebar. You can then right-click on that image in Google Keep, and download the image normally, like the way you want it to be. You can then delete the image from Keep if you don’t want it.

Thanks man, really saved me a lot of my time ! 😀

It’s really helpful

saved me on a work night, thanks!

Such a neat trick thank you! I accidentally didn’t save my animated gifs once they were in a slideshow. This is heaps quicker than making them again!

This is awesome, you saved my bacon! Thank you!

This was super helpful and easy. Thanks so much!

Thank you so much! This was such a quick solution and I wouldn’t have figured it out on my own.

This is extremely complicated. Try using dev tools to inspect the element. Find the url, something like https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/ with a long set of characters after. open the url in a new tab. Right click and save as.

Still hope there must be some simpler solution..:) but here’s similar option:

1) copy the image 2) paste to new email (gmail), than send it to yourself 3) open the “incoming” email and click on download arrow in the corner of the image

(benefit: a bit faster & you don’t need to delete redundant Google Doc file after the process…)

Thank you so much!!! That is priceless advice!

You’re welcome! Glad you found this little guide helpful.

Copy it, go to New, make a Google Drawing, paste the image, and then Download As a .jpeg or a .png

Hi! I have an easier way…..or at least I think it’s easier. 🙂

Copy the image and paste into Google Draw. Make sure the image is the same size as the canvas, then download as an image file. I use PNG format. I find this gives better quality images than screen shots.

Thank you so so so much!

What about if you need to group 2 images in the slide, and save the grouping as one image?

Worked great on a Chromebook. Thanks!!!

So hard. Use Inspector mode in Chrome )))

Wow this worked so easily! Thanks a ton for solving a long-lived problem!

There’s a much quicker way. Just insect the element…

In Chrome press Shift Ctrl I, then go to the Application tab, scroll down to frames then images. All the images on the page are there waiting to be downloaded.

Thanks, incredibly helpful!

Alternative 1 (taking a screenshot of your picture) won’t give you the original quality of the image, so I like the primary option better.

Hey bud theres a way way easier way to do this. Right click the image you want to save on google sides, select, Save to Keep at the bottom, this opens the “Keep” on the right side. You will see your image, right click on image and save image as..

THANK YOU!!

Hi JP, I found an easier way to do this: Ctrl right click on the image in Slides, “Save to Keep”, ctrl right click on the image in Keep, “Save image as”

Or more-quickly, in Chrome, you can right click somewhere in the white space above the presentation and click “inspect”. Developer Tools should open up, click on “Elements” (heading at the top of the panel) Now click on the left-most icon that looks like a rectangle with a cursor pointing to it. Now point to your image and click on it. In the “Elements” sidebar you’ll see an element highlighted with “href=” something. That something is the URL directly to your image. Copy and paste it into a new tab. Now right-click and save.

Btw. if you have Microsoft Word on your machine, there is an easier way. Copy the image to your clipboard (Step 1) and paste it onto a Microsoft Word document. Right click on the image and select “Save as Picture” option and viola.

You don’t need to copy the image and switch to Google Docs. Just download Slides as ODP Document (File – Download As – ODP Document) and open the downloaded file with 7zip. You can see Images folder in the zip editor and all the images in the Slides will be there.

Thank you—this is exactly what I needed. You just saved me a ton of time!

Is there a solution that works for saving embedded videos, or only images?

very helpful information. thanks for sharing.

Hey JP, I think we can use google developer tool for inspecting and download any image on google slides.

I actually had to download as a PDF instead of a webpage and since I have Acrobat Pro I was able to grab the image that way. For some reason when I download as a webpage I still got a blank page and no images folder. I don’t know why? Thank you for the help though! Great to have people out there that help out with stuff like this!

This was very helpful, thank you.

You can also copy the image and paste it into a gmail message. Might work with other mail services, but I’ve only used it with gmail. Then send the email to yourself and download from your inbox.

Um… yes, thats great, but i don’t want to download a picture from google slides, i want to turn a slide into a picture

Such a good hack thank you so much extremely helpful will always refer to this

This worked! Thanks so much

You’re welcome Gaby.

How to Change Your Google Slides Template Size in Minutes

Home / Google Slides Tutorials / How to Change Your Google Slides Template Size in Minutes

In presentations, it’s not just about what you say, it’s also about how you show it. Imagine you’re drawing a picture. You want it to be just the right size so everyone can see it clearly, right? Well, in presentations, it’s the same! Making things bigger or smaller helps people understand your message better.

Changing the template size in Google Slides is not a daunting task. It’s a common struggle, but the fix is simple! This blog will walk you through changing slide dimensions in Google Slides, no pro experience is required.

Understanding Slide Size and Aspect Ratio

Before we dive into resizing elements, let’s talk about the overall canvas – your Google Slide itself. There are two main ways to adjust the size of your presentation “frame”:

Aspect Ratio: This refers to the width compared to the height of your slide. Common options include:

Standard (4:3): This is the traditional aspect ratio, ideal for presentations projected onto overhead screens.

Widescreen (16:9): The go-to choice for modern presentations displayed on widescreen monitors or televisions.

Widescreen (16:10): Similar to 16:9, but slightly taller, often used for high-definition presentations.

Custom: This allows you to define a specific size in inches, centimeters, pixels, or points. Changing the Slide Size

To adjust your slide size, follow these simple steps:

Go to the File menu.
Click on Page Setup.
Choose your desired aspect ratio from the dropdown menu.
If you need a specific size not listed, select Custom and enter the width and height values.
Click Apply.

Resizing Images and Text Boxes

Now that you’ve got the canvas sized perfectly, let’s talk about resizing individual elements within your slides:

Images and Shapes: Click on the image or shape you want to resize. Drag the small squares at the corners to make it larger or smaller. Hold down the Shift key while dragging to maintain the aspect ratio.

Text Boxes: Similar to images, click and drag the corners of the text box to resize it. You can also adjust the font size within the text box to control how much text fits comfortably.

Remember: When resizing elements, pay attention to their placement and balance within the slide for a visually appealing presentation.

Nailed it! Mastering slide size in Google Slides ensures your message shines through. Now, go forth and use these tricks to craft presentations that truly stand out!
