Turn layered Photoshop files into fully editable, animation-ready PowerPoint slides — in seconds.

For over 20 years, pptXTREME users have streamlined high-end design workflows with tools like Photoshop Import, built specifically for designers who work in layered PSD files and need those layers intelligently brought into PowerPoint.

Instead of exporting flattened PNGs one by one, pptXTREME’s Photoshop Import reads your layered Photoshop document, trims transparency automatically, preserves structure, respects DPI settings, and places each element exactly where it belongs — ready to animate.

This isn’t just PSD import. It’s a production workflow bridge between Photoshop and PowerPoint.

Features at a Glance:

• Import from Currently Active Photoshop Document
  Instantly pull visible Photoshop layers into PowerPoint without manual exporting.

• Automatic Layer Trimming
  Each layer is cropped to remove excess transparency — clean shapes, ready to animate.

• Grow Bounds Control
  Expand layer canvas size before trimming to prevent edges that bleed off the slide from cutting off.

• Layer Group Intelligence
  First-level Photoshop groups import as single elements, allowing you to control structure before import.

• Background as Slide Background
  Export full-screen opaque layers as slide backgrounds instead of floating images.

• JPEG / PNG / TIFF Control per Layer
  Choose optimal format for each layer individually.

• DPI-Aware Sizing
  Combined with Set DPI, layers land perfectly sized for your slide resolution.

• Update / Replace from Photoshop (Animation Preserved)
  Modify your PSD, re-import a layer, and keep all PowerPoint positioning and animation intact.

• Multi-Slide Import Mode
  Automatically create new slides from structured PSD layer sets (ideal for awards, name graphics, photo decks).

How It Works:

1. Set DPI First
   Match your presentation resolution (e.g., 1920×1080) using Set DPI so imported layers size correctly.

2. Launch Photoshop Import
   Import from the currently active Photoshop document or browse to a PSD file.

3. Choose Layers and Options
   Select which layers to import, assign file types, enable trimming, adjust Grow Bounds, or designate backgrounds.

4. Import to Selected or Multiple Slides
   Place layers onto the current slide — or automatically distribute them across new slides.

5. Update Anytime
   Edit the original PSD file and use Info/Update from Photoshop to replace layers without losing animation or formatting.

6. Launch Photoshop Import

With all five pickers just a click away in the pptX Shortcut Bar, you can rapidly sample and assign precise colors without hunting through menus or dialog boxes. It’s color control that actually keeps up with your workflow.

Part of a Complete Photoshop Workflow

Photoshop Import focuses on bringing layered PSD files into PowerPoint.

Need to go the other direction?

• Shapes to Photoshop sends selected PowerPoint elements back to Photoshop as editable layers.

• Slides to Photoshop exports entire slides as merged Photoshop layers for advanced compositing.

Each tool works independently — but together they create a powerful round-trip design workflow between Photoshop and PowerPoint.

Photoshop Import removes the friction between two professional design tools.
Design in Photoshop. Animate in PowerPoint. Update anytime.
No rebuilding. No manual export loops. No wasted time.
