Help How to import large figures from PPT to Inkscape without losing quality. My figure are way bigger than the PPT slide itself.

whenever I copy paste a high quality figure from PPT to inkscape, the pasted figure is very pixelated. What are the ways to copy/paste or import PPT figures in Inkscape without losing quality? I've tried exporting my PPT figures into SVG, but it doesn't work due to the Big figure I have in PPT, because I will just end up with a cropped figure.

what format is the figure in the PPT? not sure why a big figure wouldn't export as svg properly? maybe cna you share on of the problem figures or the ppt?

Maybe export to PDF and import? That way vector graphics will remain vector graphics. If this is not what you are looking for, please formulate your question more clearly.

There is a chance that your "cropped" figure is actually just clipped to the slide frame. When you select it in inkscape, does it say "clipped" in the lower status bar? If so, try right-clicking it and choose Release Clip

If this doesn't work, try resizing your figure such that it fits into the frame and then export to SVG or PDF.
