This section explains the details on how we can easily automate the conversion of HTML to PowerPoint using C# .NET.

  1. Create an instance of Configuration class where we pass client credentials as arguments.
var configurations = new Configuration(clientId, clientSecret1);
  1. Initialize the ConvertApi where we pass Configuration object as an input argument.
var apiInstance = new ConvertApi(configurations);
  1. Upload the input HTML file to the cloud storage.
fileUpload.UploadFile(new UploadFileRequest("sourceFile.html", stream));
  1. Create an instance ConvertSettings where we specify the name for input HTML, resultant format as ppt and the name for resultant PowerPoint presentation as arguments.
var settings = new ConvertSettings{...}
  1. Call the ConvertDocumentRequest API to embed HTML into PowerPoint format and save the resultant PPT to the cloud storage.
var response = apiInstance.ConvertDocument(new ConvertDocumentRequest(settings));

Insert HTML in PowerPoint using cURL commands

Alternatively, we can use cURL commands and GroupDocs.Conversion Cloud API to transform HTML to PowerPoint. It’s a straightforward and efficient approach for developers who prefer a command-line interface or need to integrate this functionality into their automated scripts. The cURL commands provide simplicity and ease of use, platform independence, flexibility and allows scalable processing of large volumes of files without the need for local infrastructure, enhancing efficiency and performance.

The first step in this approach is to generate a JWT access token and then, execute the following cURL command to insert the webpage into PowerPoint presentation and save the resultant PowerPoint in cloud storage.

curl -v "https://api.groupdocs.cloud/v2.0/conversion" \
-X POST \
-H "accept: application/json" \
-H "authorization: Bearer {accessToken}" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{  \"StorageName\": \"default\",  \"FilePath\": \"{sourceHTML}\",  \"Format\": \"ppt\",  \"OutputPath\": \"{resultantFile}\"}"

Please replace sourceHTML with the name of input HTML file, resultantFile with the name of resultant PowerPoint presentation and accessToken with personalized JWT access token.

  • If you want to save the resultant PowerPoint on local drive, please try using the following cURL command.
curl -v "https://api.groupdocs.cloud/v2.0/conversion" \
-X POST \
-H "accept: application/json" \
-H "authorization: Bearer {accessToken}" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{  \"StorageName\": \"default\",  \"FilePath\": \"{sourceHTML}\",  \"Format\": \"ppt\"}" \
-o "output.ppt"
