How to Convert Powerpoint to Jpeg

Powerpoint allows you to save your presentation as other file types including the ability to save each slide as a JPEG file on both Windows and Macintosh versions. This is useful if you do not have access to the Powerpoint application on a different computer you are giving a presentation on. Even if you do not have access to Powerpoint, or if you have an older version that does not support the conversion feature, there are solutions online that will allow you to convert your presentation.
