Question 1

What video formats can be extracted from PowerPoint?

Accepted Answer

The extractor pulls videos in their original embedded format — typically MP4, WMV, AVI, or MOV. No transcoding occurs during extraction, so video quality remains identical to what was embedded in the presentation. All video files are packaged into a ZIP archive.

Question 2

Does it also extract audio files from presentations?

Accepted Answer

Yes, embedded audio files (MP3, WAV, M4A) are also extracted alongside videos. All media files found in the presentation are included in the download. This makes it a complete media extractor for PowerPoint files.

Question 3

Can I extract videos from older PPT format files?

Accepted Answer

Both modern PPTX and legacy PPT formats are supported. However, older PPT files often link to external video files rather than embedding them, in which case only the embedded media can be extracted. PPTX files with embedded videos extract perfectly.

Question 4

Will the extracted videos maintain their original quality?

Accepted Answer

Yes, videos are extracted as byte-for-byte copies of the original embedded files. There is no re-encoding, compression, or quality loss. The extracted video files are identical to what was originally inserted into the presentation.

Question 5

How large can the PowerPoint file be?

Accepted Answer

The tool supports files up to 100MB. Presentations with embedded videos tend to be large, so this generous limit covers most use cases. If your file exceeds this, consider splitting the presentation first using our PowerPoint split tool.

Question 6

Are linked videos (not embedded) also extracted?

Accepted Answer

Only embedded videos stored inside the PPTX file are extracted. Videos that are linked externally (referenced by URL or file path) are not included since they don't exist within the file. Check if your videos are embedded or linked in PowerPoint's media settings.

Question 7

How are extracted media files organized?

Accepted Answer

Media files are named with their original filenames when available, or systematically named with slide references (e.g., slide3_video1.mp4). All files are packaged in a ZIP archive for a single convenient download.

Question 8

How long does video extraction take?

Accepted Answer

Extraction typically completes in 10-60 seconds depending on the number and size of embedded videos. The process reads the PPTX file structure directly without re-encoding, so it's much faster than video conversion tools.
