Aspose.Slides for .NET is a cross-platform API that helps in developing applications with the ability to create, manipulate, inspect, or convert Microsoft PowerPoint and OpenOffice presentation files without any dependency.

Without having to install a PowerPoint program or any 3rd party component, you can use Aspose.Slides to build different types of .NET applications, e.g., Windows Forms Apps, Windows Web Apps, as well as to deploy Web Services. For example, Aspose, using its own APIs, developed these free web applications for popular conversion processes: PowerPoint to Word, PowerPoint to PDF, and PowerPoint to JPG.

Aspose.Slides for .NET requires you to use .NET programming languages. For C++, Java and Python languages, we recommend you get Aspose.Slides for C++, Aspose.Slides for Java and Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET, respectively.

Presentation Processing Features

• Intuitive Document Object Model: Aspose.Slides' object model gives complete control over presentation elements such as slides, shapes, frames, charts, multimedia, embedded objects, controls, tables, text, transitions and formatting. Developers can use this object model to create complex PowerPoint File Processing applications that can dynamically generate presentations, create or manipulate presentation slides, apply transitions or add animation effects.
• File Format Conversion: API allows to load & convert PowerPoint presentation, template & slideshow file formats to other supported formats without needing to understand the underlying structure of source or destination formats. The conversion process is simple yet reliable with results identical to the original file in its native application.
• Rendering & Printing: Developers can render the whole presentation or selective slides to fixed-layout formats such as PDF & XPS as well as raster & vector image formats including PNG, JPEG, SVG, and so on. It is also possible to print presentations via physical or virtual printers.
• Presentation Security: Load protected presentations or control access to presentations, slides, or objects via advanced security features.
• Availability of 24 pre-defined textures & 48 patterns for quick styling.

Create a PPTX Presentation from Scratch with C# Code

You can execute the below code snippet to see how Aspose.Slides API performs in your environment or check the GitHub Repository for other common usage scenarios.

// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a presentation file
using (Presentation presentation = new Presentation())
{
    // get the first slide
    ISlide slide = presentation.Slides[0];

    // add an autoshape of type line
    slide.Shapes.AddAutoShape(ShapeType.Line, 50, 150, 300, 0);
    presentation.Save(dir + "output.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
}

Convert Specific Slides to PDF Format using C# Code

// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a presentation file
using (Presentation presentation = new Presentation(dir + "template.pptx"))
{
    // setting array of slides positions
    int[] slides = { 1, 3 };
    // save the presentation to PDF
    presentation.Save(dir + "output.pdf", slides, SaveFormat.Pdf);
}
