Read PowerPoint slide dimensions

Use jetformat ppt slide-size to read PowerPoint slide dimensions.

By Jetformat

The command reports slide size in EMUs, the Office drawing coordinate unit. Keep units explicit before using the result in another layout tool.

Steps

  1. Start with a local PPTX. Replace the sample paths and identifiers with your own.
  2. Run the command below. Read the returned data before choosing a follow-up edit.
  3. Check the result as described below before using it in another job.
jetformat ppt slide-size board-deck.pptx

Check the result

Compare width and height to determine orientation and aspect ratio instead of treating EMU values as pixels.

Notes and limits

This is a free utility or read operation. It does not need a paid conversion to inspect the result.

Run jetformat ppt slide-size --help to compare options with your installed version.

See the ppt command reference for the surrounding workflow.
