PPS to G4 conversion is the process of transforming a PowerPoint Slide Show file (PPS), typically created by Microsoft PowerPoint, into a G4 image-compressed format often used for fax or archival scanned images. This conversion extracts presentation slides and converts them into G4-encoded images (CCITT Group 4), suitable for monochrome, highly compressed storage or transmission while preserving slide layout and text legibility.

PPS files typically use the MIME type application/vnd.ms-powerpoint and contain slide-based multimedia content. G4 files have the MIME type image/g4 and employ Group 4 fax compression, mainly for black and white images. The G4 codec is designed to efficiently encode monochrome scanned documents and faxes, making it suitable for archiving and transmission.
The G4 (.G4) format is commonly used for image. Understanding its characteristics can be helpful when converting to or from other formats like PPS.
While specific technical details aren't available here, G4 files generally serve the purpose of storing image effectively within their domain.

PPS files are primarily used for full-screen PowerPoint slide shows, rich in multimedia and animations. G4 files, however, are a fax-specific image compression format designed for monochrome images and documents. While PPS is versatile for presentations, G4 is optimized for efficient transmission and archiving of scanned documents.
Keep individual slides under 2–3 MB before conversion for faster processing and reliable monochrome rendering; reduce embedded high-resolution images when possible.
To preserve legibility, set output resolution to at least 200–300 DPI; increase to 400–600 DPI for detailed charts and small text.
For batch conversions, group PPS/PPSX files with similar page sizes and orientation to avoid post-conversion reformatting; process in batches to monitor quality.
Limitations: G4 is a bi-level (black-and-white) compression method, so color and gradients will be converted to monochrome which can lose shading detail.
