What it does

Turns a picture of a slide, a screenshot, a scanned PDF or an image-only PowerPoint into a deck whose text, shapes and connectors are separate editable objects instead of one flat picture. The agent follows a staged workflow: it checks its dependencies, optionally reads text with OCR, splits each page into regions, writes a manifest per page, and then assembles and checks the final .pptx. It is for reconstructing existing visuals, not writing a new deck from notes.

Great for

  • People who have only a flattened image or scan of a slide and need to edit it in PowerPoint
  • Teams converting diagrams or screenshots from old decks into editable shapes
  • Users comfortable running Python tools and installing dependencies

Skip it if

  • Creating a new presentation from research notes or an outline, because the skill is scoped to reconstruction (the description says so explicitly)
  • Sensitive or confidential slides when the user has not chosen an offline path, since image generation and OCR may send content to third-party services
  • Users who need pixel-perfect fidelity on highly complex artwork, since complex parts are kept as cropped image assets

Try asking

  • “Convert these screenshots of my slides into an editable PowerPoint deck”
  • “Rebuild this scanned PDF as editable PPT objects with text and shapes”
  • “Turn this architecture diagram image into an editable flowchart in PowerPoint”
  • “把这张截图还原成可编辑的PPT”

Install in 3 steps

  1. 1

    Download the skill

    The ZIP contains the 15 original files, the Apache-2.0 licence and an attribution note.

    nature-image2ppt.zip
  2. 2

    Add it to your agent

    Claude Code (all projects)

    mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && unzip nature-image2ppt.zip -d ~/.claude/skills/

    Claude Code / Agent SDK (this project only)

    mkdir -p .claude/skills && unzip nature-image2ppt.zip -d .claude/skills/

    Claude apps (web/desktop): Settings → Capabilities → Skills → Upload skill, and choose the ZIP.

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Run the doctor command first and install only the dependency it reports missing, as the skill instructs.
  • Choose an offline or builtin options explicitly if your slides contain confidential material.
  • Review the generated .pptx objects in PowerPoint after the run, since automated reconstruction may need manual correction.
