Append an empty PowerPoint slide

Use jetformat ppt add-slide to append an empty PowerPoint slide.

By Jetformat

This adds a slide to an existing presentation. It does not create a new PPTX from nothing or populate a slide from a prose prompt.

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-slide board-deck.pptx -o board-deck-updated.pptx

Options for this task

Option Meaning
--output Output PPTX path (required)

Check the result

Inspect the output slide count before adding text, images, or notes to the new slide.

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-slide --help to compare options with your installed version.

See the ppt command reference for the surrounding workflow.
