Method 3. Take Screenshots from Google Slides

This method is easy but doesn't provide you with good or original quality images.

Step 1. Open Google slides; it's recommended to open in slideshow mode but not necessary. If you're opening in slideshow mode, all images in a slide will be taken in a screenshot.
