To export high resolution PNG images

To retain transparency when saving shapes as images
- When saving as picture, PowerPoint automatically retains transparency if PNG format is selected
To convert a grouped object to a single shape
- One option is to save the group as an image (PNG/JPG etc) and insert that back as a picture shape
- There is no direct way to convert a group to a single shape
