To see how Aspose.Slides converts PowerPoint to JPG images, you may want to try these free online converters: PowerPoint PPTX to JPG and PPT to JPG.

Convert PowerPoint PPT/PPTX to JPG

Here are the steps to convert PPT/PPTX to JPG:

1. Create an instance of Presentation class.
2. Get the slide object of ISlide type from Presentation.Slides collection.
3. Create the thumbnail of each slide and then convert it into JPG. ISlide.GetImage(float scaleX, float scaleY) method is used to get a thumbnail of a slide, it returns IImage object as a result. GetImage method has to be called from the needed slide of ISlide type, the scales of the resulting thumbnail are passed into the method.
4. After you get the slide thumbnail, call [IImage.Save(string filename, ImageFormat format)]((https://reference.aspose.com/slides/python-net/aspose.slides/iimage/) method from the thumbnail object. Pass the resulting file name and the image format into it. 

Note: PPT/PPTX to JPG conversion differs from the conversion to other types in Aspose.Slides .NET API. For other types, you usually use IPresentation.SaveMethod(String, SaveFormat, ISaveOptions) method, but here you need Image.Save(string filename, ImageFormat format) method.

import aspose.slides as slides

pres = slides.Presentation("pres.pptx")

for sld in pres.slides:
    with sld.get_image(1, 1) as bmp:
        bmp.save("Slide_{num}.jpg".format(num=str(sld.slide_number)), slides.ImageFormat.JPEG)

Convert PowerPoint PPT/PPTX to JPG with Customized Dimensions

To change the dimension of the resulting thumbnail and JPG image, you can set the ScaleX and ScaleY values by passing them into the ISlide.GetImage(float scaleX, float scaleY) method:

import aspose.slides as slides

pres = slides.Presentation("pres.pptx")

desiredX = 1200
desiredY = 800
scaleX = (float)(1.0 / pres.slide_size.size.width) * desiredX
scaleY = (float)(1.0 / pres.slide_size.size.height) * desiredY

for sld in pres.slides:
    with sld.get_image(scaleX, scaleY) as bmp:
        bmp.save("Slide_{num}.jpg".format(num=str(sld.slide_number)), slides.ImageFormat.JPEG)
