Hyperlink in PNG

Hello,

I have a PowerPoint presentation with a lot of thumbnails that link to hyperlinks.
I need to send it by email in the body of the email as a screenshot. But all my links are lost.
I can't copy/paste all the links into my image that's in the body of the email (too long for a weekly document, and I have 20 different thumbnails each week, I can't paste 20 images, and the layout would be complicated). Anyway, is there a way to keep links from a PPT to an image document?

Thanks!!

Alice

    Hello
    Unless I misunderstood, you either include the images directly in the PPT, which is the simplest option, or you link to images, in which case your images must be publicly accessible on the internet. For example, on an image hosting site.
    Otherwise, it will never work.
    If you are in a professional environment, the principle remains the same: your images must be in a location that is accessible to the recipients.
    Best regards

      Otherwise... how to put an HTML link on only part of an image?

        We can't, not in a pptx.

    I have images with a hyperlink that leads to trailers, in fact...
    Yesterday I realized that if I selected my images with the mouse right-click copied/pasted in my email, the links remained intact but... the layout doesn't look nice.

      An email is not a PPTX and vice versa, especially since you didn't mention email at the beginning.

      These are two tools with a completely different use and purpose. PPT = slides, animations, focus on constructed information, reasoning, etc.

      An email is just a simple means of fixed communication with a simple layout.

      In short, they have nothing to do with each other.

      The choice of the tool depends on the audience and the information to be communicated. And only you have an idea of that.

    I create my newsletter in PPT, I screenshot it in Outlook. Today I would like to enhance it with trailers. Every week I would like to add about fifteen different thumbnails with the movie photo and the trailer.

    My template already exists in PPT and does not change from week to week, only the thumbnails would change, so it would be easier for me to stick with this rather than use Mailchimp or another service that forces me to redo the entire template.

      However, I think we will need to work differently because you are using a tool to make pasta and you want to make pastries. It's not meant for that.
      Furthermore, under PP we can't even export to HTML, so you really made a poor choice from the start.

      So, I don't really have a solution.
      When you want to do mailing (which is based on HTML), it's better to use tools that specialize in it.

      You could use some PPTX to HTML conversion sites that exist, but you will probably be disappointed with the final result (because it's still a bit dodgy). Moreover, the HTML of a newsletter is quite particular; it follows specific rules for a simple reason: despite a certain standardization of email formats, you do not know what your recipients will use to read your emails, and what works very well under (for example) Outlook may work much less well with another email program.

      This is why creating a newsletter like the one you receive, for example, from CCM, must adhere to composition rules.
