This tutorial will help you to solve this problem easily.

Please choose the PowerPoint version you are using below:

Step 3: In the pop-up window, select “Web Page (*.htm; *.html)” of the drop-down menu after “Save as type” and click “Save”.


Step 4: A folder named “filename_files” and a filename.html file will be output, open the folder, you will find all the images inserted into the PowerPoint presentation.

Step 2: Highlight the PowerPoint file, click “F2” (or right click and select "Rename") and change the name of the presentation by adding a .zip to the end. (e.g. filename.pptx.zip).

Step 3: Click “Yes” if the following dialog box appears after changing the name.

Step 4: Unzip the file and open it. You can find a “ppt” folder in it. Open the “media” folder in “ppt” folder, you will find all the images inserted into PowerPoint.
