Pixton Comic Characters is a PowerPoint add-in that lets you insert comic characters constructed using layers -- very similar to Comicgen. This approach would work fine.

We can create PowerPoint task pane add-ins using JS.

@kriti21 Could you please try this using Script Lab

  • Create an SVG file. Save it on uat.gramener.com. Add a "Go" button. When we click on the button, use fetch() to fetch the image. Use btoa() to convert it to Base64. Insert it into PowerPoint. This proves that we can load an SVG file from a server and insert it
  • Extend this script to load TWO SVGs one on top of the other. Fix the positioning manually

If we can do this, then we can create the same interface as Comicgen because we know all the file names and their positions from the Comicgen code. We can re-use this.
