Convert a PDF file into individual PNG images, one per page/slide.

What it does

Convert Slides To Images is an agent skill from pamelafox/presentation-skills. Convert a PDF file into individual PNG images, one per page/slide. Uses poppler's pdftoppm command. Output files are named slide1.png, slide2.png, etc. USE FOR: convert PDF to images, split slides into PNGs, extract slide images from PDF.

Its SKILL.md is about 260 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `convert_slides_to_images.py`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Slides and decks. The repository describes itself as: Skills for AI agents to process presentations - helpful for teachers and speakers. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • : convert PDF to images
  • Split slides into PNGs
  • Extract slide images from PDF

Example prompts

  • “/convert-slides-to-images”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2b809b3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uv
    • brew
    • apt-get

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Convert Slides To Images loads about 260 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 70 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~260

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
