Powerpoint picture information
Is there a way to find out location of picture that was used in powerpoint? Original creation of file was with powerpoint 2010 or 2007 not sure. We use powerpoint 2016 now, so is there a way to get name of original picture?
Thank you.
Thank you.

If the file format is PPTX (not ppt) then you could try renaming the file with a .zip extension and exploring the contents using Windows File Exolorer.
As Jamie says, you can unzip the file and check the Media folder. (Incidentally, there are instructions for that here if you need them.)
But that won't give you the original picture name, because the media will all have been renamed to, for example, Image1.jpeg, Image2.png, media1.mp4, media2.mov, etc. You may also see WDP files, for example, hdphoto1.wdp. Those are picture effects. They are added separately because PowerPoint does "nondestructive editing" and so it doesn't actually change the original image.
If you need to find a file name to assist with finding it on a stock photo site, you can use something like TinEye to do a reverse image search. That should turn up the image on various places around the web, and if you see it on your preferred stock photo site, you can probably infer the file name then.
If you need to rummage through your server drives, maybe use a utility like Agent Ransack. I think it does a better job of helping search for various file types than the typical Windows search ever dreamed of. And it's free! Yay!

IF the original was added in 2007 (NOT 2010) the name of the image should be in the ALT Text of the picture. This is ONLY true if the original was made 2007.
