How to Add Slides in PowerPoint

  1. Download a C# library for adding slides in PPT
  2. Open or create a PowerPoint presentation file
  3. Choose the number of slides you want to add
  4. Add slides using the AddSlide method
  5. Export the final PowerPoint presentation

Add Slide Example

Adding a slide in PowerPoint is a quite easy task. Simply, create a new PresentationDocument object (.pptx). Then, call the AddSlide method for adding a single slide. Finally, save the PowerPoint document using the Save method.

Please noteBy default, a new Presentation file already consists of an existing blank page. Any new page within that document is being added after the initial one

:path=/static-assets/ppt/content-code-examples/how-to/add-slide-add-slide.cs
using IronPPT;

// Instantiate a new PresentationDocument object.
var document = new PresentationDocument();

// Add a slide to the presentation.
document.AddSlide();

// Export the presentation to a PPTX file.
document.Save("addSlides.pptx");

Adding a Slide Object

Adding a slide object is useful for adding and grouping elements for a specific slide. For instance, an image would be required to be grouped with a specific slide. You would create a slide object and add the image. It works similarly to our previous example; Create a new PresentationDocument object (or load an existing one), then create a slide object using the Slide class. Once that is sorted, we add text to the new slide, and finally using the AddSlide method, we add the new slide to our document.

:path=/static-assets/ppt/content-code-examples/how-to/add-slide-add-slide-object.cs
using IronPPT;

// Create a new presentation document
var document = new PresentationDocument();

// Create a new slide object
var slide = new Slide();

// Add text to the slide
slide.AddText("Hello World!");

// Add the slide object to the document using the AddSlide method
document.AddSlide(slide);

// Save the presentation as a PPTX file
document.Save("adding-slide-object.pptx");

Adding Multiple Slides

Several slides can be added intuitively by using a simple for loop. In the code snippet below, the existing file is loaded and another 3 pages are added. The concept still revolves around programmatically manipulating the script to get the most out of IronPPT.

:path=/static-assets/ppt/content-code-examples/how-to/add-slide-multiple-slides.cs
using IronPPT;

// Loading an existing PPTX file
var document = new PresentationDocument("adding-slide-object.pptx");

// Add 3 new slides to the presentation
for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
    document.AddSlide();
}

// Export the file
document.Save("addSlides.pptx");
