from pptx_tools import utils  # needs python-pptx-interface installed
# you should use full paths, to make sure PowerPoint can handle the paths
png_folder = r"D:\workspace-pytorch\00_paperwithcode\images"
presentation_path = r"D:\workspace-pytorch\00_paperwithcode\1015.pptx"

utils.save_pptx_as_png(png_folder, presentation_path, overwrite_folder=True)
