Hi, I want to insert a picture to the picture placeholder, but I cannot find the API. I tried to fill the background of placeholder with the picture, but the result was not ideal. Is there any other way to do this?

@lylyly90,

I have observed the requirements shared by you and like to share that placeholder is not an actual shape but gives a skeleton for shape. I have created a sample code for your convenience that may help you in achieving your requirements.

public static void TestPlaceholderImage()
{
    String path = "C:\\Aspose Data\\";
    Presentation pres = new Presentation(path + "TestPicture.pptx");

    foreach (ISlide slide in pres.Slides)
    {
        foreach (IShape shape in slide.Shapes)
        {
            if (shape.Placeholder != null)
            {
                if (shape.Placeholder.Type == PlaceholderType.Picture)
                {
                    // Instantiate the ImageEx class
                    System.Drawing.Image img = (System.Drawing.Image)new Bitmap(@"C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\Desert.jpg");
                    IPPImage imgx = pres.Images.AddImage(img);

                    shape.FillFormat.FillType = FillType.Picture;
                    shape.FillFormat.PictureFillFormat.Picture.Image = imgx;

                    if (shape is AutoShape)
                    {
                        ITextFrame text = ((IAutoShape)shape).TextFrame;
                        text.Text = " ";
                        text.Paragraphs[0].ParagraphFormat.Bullet.Type = BulletType.None;

                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

    pres.Save(path + "Addedpic.pptx", Aspose.Slides.Export.SaveFormat.Pptx);
}
