Importing Photos to PowerPoint (VBA/PowerPoint)

AddThis Social Bookmark Button

Creating a PowerPoint presentation from a large amount of photos can be very time consuming. Office 2007 and later include a Photo Album feature to assist with importing photos in bulk but this still requires some manual selection of images and can be awkward to use. 

The attached macro enabled powerpoint presentation is a demonstration of how VBA can be used to automate this process. This sample includes functions to import all JPG,PNG and GIF images in the folder of the presentation and additional functions and forms to display a progress bar indicating progress for large volumes of images.

The code included in this presentation can be run as a macro or run as part of the presentation. Details are included on the slideshow. This presentation will work in Office 2007 and later.
