Slides to Video & GIF

Export slides as PNG frames to Drive for a GIF or video — plus GIF hook

slidesgifvideoexportpng framesdrive
Turn a Google Slides deck into a set of high-quality PNG frames in Drive — the
exact input every GIF and video tool needs — and, optionally, build an animated
GIF automatically through a render service you configure.

WHAT IT DOES
• Export slides as PNG frames (the core feature, always works) — every slide of
  the active presentation is saved as a high-quality PNG into one neatly named
  Drive folder, with a direct link to grab them.
• Build an animated GIF (Pro, optional) — if you run an external rendering
  service, paste its endpoint URL and the add-on POSTs the frame URLs to it and
  saves the returned GIF to your Drive.

HONEST NOTE ON RENDERING
Google Apps Script cannot natively render video or GIF — there's no server-side
ffmpeg available to add-ons. So the core, always-working capability here is
per-slide PNG frame export. Those frames finish the job in any editor (Photoshop,
GIMP, ezgif, ffmpeg, your video editor). The GIF feature is an optional external
hook: you bring the renderer, the add-on hands it the frames and stores the
result. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you configure a URL.

GREAT FOR
• Building a looping GIF preview of a deck for social or email.
• Feeding clean per-slide frames into a video editor.
• Archiving each slide as a high-quality image.

FREE & PRO
• Free: up to 10 slide frames/month.
• Pro: unlimited frame export plus the GIF-building hook. 14-day full trial.

Privacy-first: uses current-document-only and per-file Drive scopes — the add-on
only touches your active presentation and the frames folder it creates for you.
It never lists or reads the rest of your Drive. Fast support and frequent updates.
