Rebrand a deck that only survives as screenshots
Recover enough structure to update colors, logos, headings, and imagery without starting from a blank slide.
Screenshots → editable slide objects
Turn a slide screenshot into an editable PowerPoint
Use an existing screenshot as the visual source, then receive a PPTX whose visible content is reconstructed into selectable elements instead of being placed on one flat background.
Start with 10 one-time pages. No credit card required.
What this workflow does
From a flat visual reference to a working deck
A screenshot preserves how a slide looked, but it discards the original object model. You cannot reliably change a heading, recolor a box, or replace a product image when the whole page is one bitmap. Reslide treats the screenshot as a reference and rebuilds the visible page as PowerPoint content.
This is a reconstruction workflow, not recovery of the original file. Elements that were never visible in the screenshot—speaker notes, animations, links, off-canvas objects, and embedded data—are not present in the input and cannot be restored from it. Plan a visual and copy review after conversion.
Step by step
A reviewable conversion workflow
The source stays important after conversion: use it to verify the new, editable representation before sharing or automating downstream work.
- 1
Prepare the cleanest screenshot available
Crop away browser chrome, chat controls, watermarks you do not need, and unrelated desktop content. Keep the slide at its original aspect ratio when possible.
- 2
Upload screenshots in slide order
Add one image for each slide in the workspace, or upload each image through POST /v1/uploads and pass the ordered upload_ids to an images_to_pptx task.
- 3
Let Reslide reconstruct the visible page
The conversion service interprets the screenshot and creates an editable PPTX representation with text, shape, and picture elements where applicable.
- 4
Review the deck in PowerPoint
Check wording, line breaks, fonts, charts, and overlapping objects. Replace any element that needs exact brand or data fidelity before distributing the deck.
Good fit
When this path is useful
Turn review screenshots into working slides
Convert slides captured in email, chat, or a meeting into a PPTX that a team can annotate and revise.
Create a reusable layout reference
Use the reconstructed file as a starting point, then replace copy and assets with content you are permitted to use.
Before you convert
Prepare the source
- Use the largest available screenshot; avoid thumbnails or images enlarged after capture.
- Keep one complete slide per image and use a consistent aspect ratio across the set.
- Confirm you have permission to reproduce and edit the source material.
- Retain the screenshot so reviewers can compare the converted slide with its source.
Service rules
Current public contract
- 1 credit is reserved for each page and settles on a successful task.
- Failed or canceled tasks have zero net billable task credits; reservations are reconciled against their original credit pools under those pools' lifecycle rules.
- The current defaults are 100 pages per task and 100MB per upload.
- API users can query GET /v1/limits instead of relying on hard-coded limits.
Honest boundaries
What to inspect after conversion
Reslide reconstructs from the submitted visual source. It does not claim to recover information, behavior, or authoring structure that the source no longer contains.
Invisible behavior is not recoverable
Animations, transitions, notes, accessibility metadata, formulas, and links do not exist in a screenshot unless their text is visibly shown.
Typography can require correction
Small text, stylized lettering, compression artifacts, or unavailable fonts may produce copy or line breaks that need manual review.
Complex visuals may remain image-like
Photographs, detailed illustrations, charts, shadows, and blended effects are not guaranteed to become the same editable primitives used in the original deck.
FAQ
Common questions about this workflow
Does Reslide put my screenshot on a blank slide?
The purpose of this workflow is reconstruction rather than a simple full-slide image placement. The output can contain selectable text boxes, shapes, and separate pictures, but you should inspect the result because reconstruction varies with the source.
Can I convert several screenshots into one PowerPoint?
Yes. Supply the screenshots in the desired slide order. One input image represents one output slide and uses one credit.
What screenshot format should I use?
The upload endpoint accepts PNG, JPG/JPEG, and WebP. PNG is often useful for crisp interface text, while a high-quality JPG may be appropriate for photographic slides.
Will the wording be exactly correct?
Do not assume that. Proofread every slide, especially small text, numbers, proper nouns, and copy embedded in low-resolution or compressed images.
