Split PowerPoint Presentations online | Learn how to Split PPT.
This article explains the steps to split PowerPoint Presentations in the C# application. We are well aware that a PPT file contains several different types of information such as text, bulleted points, images, multimedia, and other embedded OLE objects. So instead of sharing the complete file, you may have a requirement to split Powerpoint Slides into separate files and share them accordingly. Therefore, we are going to programmatically split PPT into multiple files.

The API Reference for Aspose.Slides Cloud is also available in online swagger format. As per the Document Object Model of Aspose.Slides, a PowerPoint presentation contains a collection of Slides. Our PowerPoint processing Cloud API provides a myriad of options when splitting the PowerPoint slides and enables you to save the output in a variety of output formats. The image on the right side shows the list of supported output formats by the split operation.
Now as a first step, authenticate your user by providing App SID and App Key and once you have provided the valid credentials, a JWT token is generated. So in order to accomplish our requirement to split the PowerPoint presentation slides, we need to use the PostSlidesSplit method. Now click the Try it out button next to the Split POST method. At a bare minimum, you need to provide the name of an input Presentation file to start the operation.

In this scenario, we are going to use Presentation1.pptx as shown in the image above to perform the split operation. Under format dropdown, we need to select the desired output format after the split operation. Let’s use PPTX for this scenario. The next step is to specify the From and To slide values. When the From value is not specified, then the split operation starts from the first slide of the presentation. Similarly, if we do not provide To value, then splitting ends at the last slide. Since our input Presentation file has only two slides, we are going to skip this step and it will split both slides as separate presentation files. Now click the Execute button and the operation will be started.
If the user account is properly authenticated and desired input parameters are correct, you will notice a server response code 200 is displayed and the response body will list the source and resultant PPTX files links. Please take a look over the following image file.

You may also observe a cURL command displayed which can also be used to perform further PowerPoint slide split operations (after updating the required arguments).
Now let’s have a look at cloud storage after this operation. Notice that two new PowerPoint presentation files are listed on cloud storage.

Now let’s have a look over the resultant PowerPoint Presentation.
