Insert an image on a PowerPoint slide

Use jetformat ppt add-image to insert an image on a PowerPoint slide.

By Jetformat

The image is placed at the top-left of the chosen slide. Start with an existing deck and use a local image file; this is not an automatic layout designer.

Steps

  1. Start with a local PPTX. Replace the sample paths and identifiers with your own.
  2. Run the command below. Save to a new output path so the source remains available for comparison.
  3. Check the result as described below before using it in another job.
jetformat ppt add-image board-deck.pptx --page 1 --image logo.png -o board-deck-updated.pptx

Options for this task

Option Meaning
--image PNG/JPEG/GIF/EMF image path
--output Output PPTX path (required)
--page 1-based slide number (default 1)

Check the result

Convert the saved deck and render the edited slide to check overlap and image proportions.

Notes and limits

Writing an Office document uses one credit per command. See the billing guide for the current rules.

The examples keep the original file. Add --force only when you intend to overwrite an existing output. Run jetformat ppt add-image --help to compare options with your installed version.

See the ppt command reference for the surrounding workflow.
