PPT / Google Slides - Save a Slide as an Image

Intermediate

Have you ever created a slide and wanted to use it as an image? For example, a page in your presentation has a powerful picture with text overlay that you want to use in another way – like on a website or a social media post.

Or, you've uploaded a video to YouTube and want to use a slide as the thumbnail (display) image. Well, did you know that the size of a slide (widescreen) is 1280 x 720 pixels (or a 16:9 ratio) which is exactly the recommended image size for YouTube? You don't need to crop or re-size the image, it's a perfect size already!

In fact, we use this technique every week to create the cover images for our Tech-Talk videos!

EXAMPLE: Here is a PPT slide saved as a jpg graphic!

[image example]

The secret to creating an image from a slide? All you have to do is SAVE it in the JPG or PNG format. That's what makes that slide an image. Now you can use it just as you would any graphic.

How To Convert A PowerPoint Slide to an Image

The process of converting the PowerPoint to a JPEG or PNG is very simple: change the format when you are saving the document.

·     Open the PowerPoint presentation.
·     Click on the slide you want as a graphic.
·     Choose File, then Save As.
·     In the Save As Type area where it shows PowerPoint Presentation (.pptx), use the drop-down window to select .jpg file Interchange format (or .png or .gif).

[save ppt as image]

·     You'll be asked if you want to convert all the files or the current one. NOTE: If you choose ALL Slides, you'll get individual .jpg files for each slide.
·     To save only the one selected choose Just This One.

[save image]

Now you can use the image(s) as needed.

Save a Slide as an Image in Google Slides

You can also save a slide in Google as an image as well.

·     Select the slide to convert to an image from the list of slides at the left side of the window.
·     Go to File and select Download.
·     Now choose either the JPEG or PNG image type.
·     You'll be prompted to give the image a name and select the file location.

Communications: Survey Questions

In Conflict, Support First

Think back to a recent conflict you had with someone. Did you find yourself thinking about how you were going to counter what was said … instead of being supportive first?

Whether you are ready to challenge or react in a conflict situation, consider taking a breath and find a way to make a supportive statement of any kind. This shows that you're listening and "disarms" the other individual because they are expecting a counter-move.

A supportive statement doesn’t have to be a big deal (see the examples below). But by not offering this kind of endorsement (because you think it's obvious … or because you think it won't matter) is a missed opportunity.

Even when you disagree with what was said, acknowledge the fact that you've heard the statement first, before launching into how you differ. This approach will make your conversations more productive.

Examples of supportive statements, even when you disagree.

·     "I hear you."
·     "Well, that's an idea."
·     "You bring up a good point."
·     Or repeat what you've heard. That is supportive too!

Leadership

Avoid Closed-End Questions

How often do you ask closed-end questions? If you’re honest with yourself, I bet it’s a lot. We all do it! And it’s more fruitful (usually) if we ask more open-ended questions.

With closed-ended inquiries, the answer is often one word such as yes or no. For instance, "Would you like to go to a show?" "Do you like what we're doing with this project?" "Are you satisfied with the work we did?"

When you only get one-word answers, you deprive yourself of insight and information. Take a moment and recraft your questions to be open-ended.

An open-ended question gives the responder an opportunity to elaborate, providing you with more details. Turning the questions above into open-ended inquiries, they would look like this:

·     "How do you feel about going to a show?"
·     "What do you think about what we're doing with this project?"
·     "What are your thoughts about the work we did?"

Notice how each of these questions lets folks open up with ideas you may not have thought to ask.
