Created: 2026-05-24 10:00 · Updated: 2026-05-24 10:00

A snippet is a single PowerPoint shape or a group of shapes — for example, an icon, a diagram, or a text block.

Prerequisites

  • A PowerPoint presentation is open
  • At least one shape is selected on the active slide

Saving

  1. Select the shape(s) on the slide
  2. Click PPPTools → Save Snippet in the Ribbon
  3. Enter a Name in the dialog
  4. Optional: add category, description, and other metadata directly
  5. Click Save

The snippet is saved in your private library and appears immediately in the gallery.

Tip

Groups and multiple simultaneously selected shapes can also be saved as a single snippet. PPPTools groups the objects automatically.

Updating Metadata

After saving, all metadata can be edited in the Manage tab. Select the snippet in the list and adjust the fields.

Preview Image

PPPTools automatically creates a preview image of the saved shape. The image is displayed in the gallery card.
