It can t be done  either manually or progamatically  This is because the color behind every slide master is white  If you set your background to 100  transparent  it will print as white   The best you could do is design your slide with all the stuff you want  group everything you want to appear in the transparent image and then right-click save as picture  PNG  or you could do that with a macro as well   In this way you would retain transparency   Here s an example of how to export all slides  shapes to seperate PNG files  Note    This does not get any background shapes on the Slide Master  Resulting PNGs will not be the same size as each other  depending on where the shapes are located on each slide  This uses a depreciated function  namely Shape Export  This means that while the function is still available up to PowerPoint 2010  it may be removed from PowerPoint VBA later   Sub PrintShapesToPng       Dim ap As Presentation  Set ap   ActivePresentation     Dim sl As slide     Dim shGroup As ShapeRange     For Each sl In ap Slides         ActiveWindow View GotoSlide  sl SlideIndex          sl Shapes SelectAll         Set shGroup   ActiveWindow Selection ShapeRange         shGroup Export ap Path  amp    Slide   amp  sl SlideIndex  amp    png                                 ppShapeFormatPNG      ppRelativeToSlide     Next End Sub

Here is my preferred quickest and easiest solution  Works well if all slides have the same background color that you want to remove   Step 1  In Powerpoint   Save As   shortcut F12  PNG   All Slides     Now you have a folder full of these PNG images of all your slides  The problem is that they still have a background  So now   Step 2  Batch remove background color of all the PNG images  for example by following the steps in this SE answer

One workaround that I have done is    Ctrl   a to select everything in the slide Ctrl   c to copy it open GIMP  probably works in Photoshop or other software  make a new image with a transparent background Ctrl   v to paste all the vectors text into the image Export the image to a PNG or whatever format   It looks pretty much exactly the same as in Powerpoint  and the vectors text are very clean with their transparency edges

You can select the shapes within a slide  Word Art also  and right click on the selection and choose  Save As Picture   It will save as a transparent PNG

I found a workaround    Export with a white background  or other color that will work with transparent graphics   This will be out  whitescreen  layer  Export with  bluescreen  background  or some terrible other color that will make it easy to select out the background from foreground  Open the bluescreen version as a layer on top of the white screen  Use the bluescreen layer to select out only the parts you want to use  Create a mask for the whitescreen layer with the selection made from the bluescreen layer    This will get good results for edges and aliasing  whilst retaining a good color for the see-

I just tried to make a transparent image with powerpoint after failing miserably with other online systems  I was successful  Amazing   First I used word art to give me typefaces which convert well to PNG or JPEG  The ordinary text in powerpoint does not convert well  It gets fuzzy  Anyway  I typed in my words in white  my choice of colour as i wanted it against a navy blue background   arranged it how i wanted  then right clicked and selected format shape to remove lines  then shadow to set the transparency    I took the transparency to 100   It came out fine  i then right clicked to save as png  Opened the image with MS Picture manager and resized the image to my suiting  It did not come out with the powerpoint white background at all  Once resized  i dropped the image  against my navy blue background and it was like magic
