Insert SVG File : Two way in Powerpoint for Windows

Insert SVG File : Two way in Powerpoint for Windows


When creating a document with Powerpoint, it is much more effective to transfer the contents by using image or icon instead of letter.

Therefore, there are many cases where the icon is downloaded from the site that provides it. When you download it from a site that provides icon, it is often provided as a PNG or SVG file.

Especially icon files are often vector files, and they work well with CSS3 and XML, so you can easily obtain Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG) files, which are good image formats for web use.

However, in order to use SVG files directly from Powerpoint, we had to convert them into PNG files or EMF files. However, with the recent update to Powerpoint 2016, this problem is gone.
