Backstage Ninja Tools is a growing set of practical PowerPoint tools for live-event graphics operators, designers, and presentation teams.
The tools are built for real show conditions: tight deadlines, messy decks, last-minute changes, and the need for PowerPoint to behave properly when it matters.
ont Tools
Font Report
Scan your entire deck and see every font in use — name, slide count, and whether it’s installed on the current machine. Swap out a missing font directly from the report.
Collect Fonts
Copy every font file used in the presentation into a folder beside it. Hand the folder to a client or colleague and the fonts travel with the deck.
Image Tools
Image Report
See every image in your deck: filename, dimensions, file size, and resolution. Spot the 12MB JPEG hiding on slide 43 before it causes problems on show day.
Collect Images
Extract every embedded image to a folder alongside the presentation — useful for archiving, handoff, or re-use.
Export Slides as Images
Export all slides as PNG at 720p, 1080p, 4K, or a custom resolution. One click, all slides, ready to use anywhere.
Image Fade Editor
Apply directional fade and blend effects to images directly on your slides, with a live preview editor and one-click undo/restore.
Background Ninja
Set, replace, and manage slide backgrounds precisely — colour fills, images, and gradients — across single slides or the entire deck.
Notes Tools
Format Notes
Clean up messy speaker notes in one pass — strip stray formatting, fix inconsistent spacing, and produce notes that are actually readable.
Export Notes
Export your speaker notes as a Word document, PDF, or plain text — formatted and ready for autocue, teleprompter, or printed presenter scripts.
Notes Splitter
An advanced presenter view that displays your speaker notes live on a second screen during a slideshow. Paginated, scrollable, and formatted — independent of PowerPoint’s own Presenter View.
Media Tools
Media Report
List every video and audio file embedded in the deck — type, size, codec, and slide location. Know exactly what’s in there before you walk into a venue.
Collect Media
Extract all embedded media files into a folder. Essential for backup, handoff, or archiving a show that contains video.
Video Tools
Enhanced Video Export
Export your presentation as an MP4 or Apple ProRes MOV using FFmpeg. Control resolution, frame rate, and slide timing. Export the whole deck or split each section into its own separate video file — frame-accurate from the very first frame.
Deck Tools
Section Ninja
Export or combine selected sections of your deck as individual PPTX or PDF files. Great for splitting a master deck into separate handout or segment files.
Chart Cracker
Ungroup charts and convert them to fully editable shapes. Break a locked, embedded chart open and edit every element individually — no data connection required.
Format & Precision Tools
Shape Ninja
Set corner radius, stroke width, and drop shadow on one shape or multiple shapes at once — with exact numeric control, not just drag-and-hope.
Snap Ninja
Rotate shapes to a precise angle using a visual dial. Set rotation, nudge in fine increments, and snap to common angles without fighting PowerPoint’s rotation handles.
Presentation & Production Tools
LED Wall Sizer
Calculate the correct slide dimensions for LED wall and screen configurations. Enter your wall’s pixel pitch and panel count and get the right canvas size instantly.
VT Countdown
An on-screen countdown timer you can run during a live presentation — for holding slides, pre-show countdowns, or timing segments.
OBS Integration
Connect directly to OBS Studio via WebSocket. Trigger scene switches and control your OBS layout from inside PowerPoint during a live production.
Optimise Ninja
Also available as a standalone tool — [see the dedicated page]
Scan your deck and machine for show-readiness risks, then create a clean Show Package — an optimised copy with fixes applied and a full report. Your original file is never changed.
