Extract Images from a PowerPoint Document in Python

To extract images from an entire PowerPoint presentation, you need to use the Presentation.Images property to get the collection of all the images in the presentation, then iterate through the elements in the collection and call IImageData.Image.Save() method to save each element to an image file. The following are the detailed steps:

• Create a Presentation instance.
• Load a PowerPoint document using Presentation.LoadFromFile() method.
• Get the collection of all the images in the document using Presentation.Images property.
• Iterate through the elements in the collection, and save each element as an image file using the IImageData.Image.Save() method.

from spire.presentation.common import *
from spire.presentation import *

# Create a Presentation instance
ppt = Presentation()

# Load a PowerPoint document
ppt.LoadFromFile("sample.pptx")

# Iterate through all images in the document
for i, image in enumerate(ppt.Images):

    # Extract the images
    ImageName = "ExtractImage/Images_"+str(i)+".png"
    image.Image.Save(ImageName)

ppt.Dispose()

Extract Images from a Presentation Slide in Python

To extract images from a specific slide, you need to iterate through all shapes on the slide and find the shapes that are of SlidePicture or PictureShape type, then use the SlidePicture.PictureFill.Picture.EmbedImage.Image.Save() or PictureShape.EmbedImage.Image.Save() method to save the images to image files. The following are the detailed steps:

• Create a Presentation instance.
• Load a PowerPoint document using Presentation.LoadFromFile() method.
• Get a specified slide using Presentation.Slides[int] property.
• Iterate through all shapes on the slide.
• Determine whether the shapes are of SlidePicture or PictureShape type. If so, save the images to image files using SlidePicture.PictureFill.Picture.EmbedImage.Image.Save() or PictureShape.EmbedImage.Image.Save() method.

from spire.presentation.common import *
from spire.presentation import *

# Create a Presentation instance
ppt = Presentation()

# Load a PowerPoint document
ppt.LoadFromFile("sample.pptx")

# Get a specified slide
slide = ppt.Slides[2]

i = 0
#Traverse all shapes in the slide
for s in slide.Shapes:

    # Determine if the shape is of SlidePicture type
    if isinstance(s, SlidePicture):

        # If yes, then extract the image
        ps = s if isinstance(s, SlidePicture) else None
        ps.PictureFill.Picture.EmbedImage.Image.Save("Output/SlidePic_"+str(i)+".png")
        i += 1

    # Determine if the shape is of PictureShape type
    if isinstance(s, PictureShape):

        # If yes, then extract the image
        ps = s if isinstance(s, PictureShape) else None
        ps.EmbedImage.Image.Save("Output/SlidePic_"+str(i)+".png")
        i += 1

ppt.Dispose()

from spire.doc.common import *

# Create a Document object
document = Document()
# Load a Word document
document.LoadFromFile("Sample1.docx")

# Create a regex to match the text that starts with #
regex = Regex("""\\#\\w+\\b""")

# Find the text matching the regex and replace it with another text
document.Replace(regex, "Spire.Doc for Python")

#save the document
document.SaveToFile("ReplaceTextUsingRegex.docx", FileFormat.Docx2016)
document.Close()

Find and Replace Text with an Image

Spire.Doc for Python doesn't offer a direct method to replace text with image, but you can achieve this by inserting the image at the position of the text and then removing the text from the document. The detailed steps are as follows:

• Create a Document object.
• Load a Word document using Document.LoadFromFile() method.
• Find a specific text in the document using Document.FindAllString() method.
• Loop through the found results.
• Create a DocPicture object and load an image using DocPicture.LoadImage() method.
• Get the found text as a single text range and then get the index of the text range in its owner paragraph.
• Insert an image at the position of the text range and then remove the text range from the document.
• Save the resulting document using Document.SaveToFile() method.

from spire.doc import *
from spire.doc.common import *

# Create a Document object
document = Document()
# Load a Word document
document.LoadFromFile("Sample.docx")

# Find a specific text in the document
selections = document.FindAllString("Spire.Doc", True, True)
index = 0
testRange = None

# Loop through the found results
for selection in selections:
    # Load an image
    pic = DocPicture(document)
    pic.LoadImage("logo.png")
    # Get the found text as a single text range
    testRange = selection.GetAsOneRange()
    # Get the index of the text range in its owner paragraph
    index = testRange.OwnerParagraph.ChildObjects.IndexOf(testRange)
    # Insert an image at the index
    testRange.OwnerParagraph.ChildObjects.Insert(index, pic)
    # Remove the text range
    testRange.OwnerParagraph.ChildObjects.Remove(testRange)

# Save the resulting document
document.SaveToFile("ReplaceTextWithImage.docx", FileFormat.Docx2016)
document.Close()
