When to use it
- ✓When you need to illustrate a point on a slide with an icon or image.
- ✓When creating a diagram to explain a process.
- ✓If you need to add a chart or infographic to make data clearer.

How it works
The AI selects the right type of visual (icon, image, etc.), checks if it can be used, and inserts it into the presentation. It makes sure the visual doesn't interfere with text and maintains quality.

PPTX Visual Assets
Use visual assets to support a slide's message, never to flatten or replace editable content.
Workflow
- Select the asset type only when it improves comprehension: icon, image, SVG, diagram, or infographic.
- Confirm the local asset path, source, usage rights, and concise alt text before placement.
- Add the asset with a final inch bbox, deliberate z-index, and
contentorlayout_designclassification. - Preserve aspect ratio and check that no asset covers readable text or leaves essential information locked in an image.
Rules
- Use simple, legible icons alongside text labels.
- Place captions beside images rather than over them.
- Use true SVG sources only when they are clean vectors; never wrap a raster image in SVG and call it editable.
- Recreate essential labels, legends, values, and process steps with native PowerPoint objects.
- If rights, provenance, or a suitable asset are unavailable, omit the asset and report the gap. Never add a placeholder as a finished visual.
- Record provider or source details in the source manifest. Never request secrets in chat.
See references/asset-guidance.md for licensing, placement, and SVG constraints.
FAQ
Can I add any image I find online?
No, you need to ensure you have permission to use the image and that it's good quality. If you're unsure or can't find a suitable visual, it's better not to add anything.
What happens if the visual covers the text?
The tool is designed to prevent this. It ensures the visual doesn't cover important text and that the text remains editable.
What is 'SVG'?
SVG is a type of vector image file that can be resized without losing quality. The tool prefers 'clean' SVGs and doesn't recommend using SVGs to simply 'wrap' normal images.
