FAQs
Q: Is using third-party tools safe?
A: Some are reliable, but to ensure secure usage, it’s recommended to first review their permission requirements, privacy policies, and related reviews.
Q: The downloaded slide image includes background layouts, so how to keep only the image?
A:You can use Method 1, 2, or 3 to save the original image. Alternatively, insert a blank slide, copy and paste the image onto that slide, then download it.
Q: Can images be batch-saved from Google Slides?
A: Yes. By adding certain Chrome extensions, batch-saving is possible.
Q: Why can’t some images on certain pages be extracted when using Chrome extensions to save them?
A: This may be due to flaws or malfunctions in the extension itself, or restrictions on the webpage (e.g., developers may employ technical measures to protect images).
First, check whether the extension is allowed to run on the page (i.e., whether the blue toggle switch is enabled or review permissions in Site Settings).
If unresolved, try other extensions.
