Have you ever embedded images into a Powerpoint presentation, and then misplaced or deleted the original images? This is a tool to recover those embedded media files.
ofc_mediax extracts media files (such as images and movies) from pptx, docx, xlsx, and related files. Limited support for OpenDocument formats.
To extract all media files from a pptx file named slides.pptx into a new directory called outdir:
ofc_mediax slides.pptx outdir
To extract only files with a certain extension (in this example, jpg and png files):
ofc_mediax -x .jpg -x .png document.docx outdir
To list embedded media files, but not extract them:
ofc_mediax -l slides.pptx
Either clone this repository with
git clone https://github.com/johnhcc/ofc_mediax.git
or download a zip or tarball and extract the contents.
Then simply place the ofc_mediax file somewhere in your path.
Requires either Python 2 or 3. Run it by simply typing ofc_mediax (or python ofc_mediax if you prefer, or python.exe ofc_mediax on Windows).
Run without any arguments for usage.
