Hello,

Over time, I have captured a wide variety of SVGs I used as quick design assets. All of them are inside PowerPoint. E.g., each slide has 20 SVGs according to a certain theme. Is there a way to import all these SVGs from the PPTX file into Miro?

Copy+pasting doesn’t work since it converts the SVGs to PNGs.

Thanks in advance for your help!

@ue7 - The only way I can think of to access all .svg files in a PowerPoint for upload to a Miro board is to open the PowerPoint file in a zip/container application, search for the .svg files, extract them to your computer, then upload to a board.

Here’s what the steps could look like:

  1. Open the PowerPoint file using a container application, e.g., WinZip or 7-Zip - you can do this by either right-clicking on the .pptx and selecting “extract to [filename]” or renaming the PowerPoint from [file].pptx to [file].zip - basically you want to extract the PowerPoint file to a folder on your computer.
  2. Open the folder and search for *.svg
  3. Drag and drop the .sgv files onto a Miro board.

Here are the screenshots:
