The problem
Why copy-paste fails
Slides fragment
Text boxes scatter across each slide, producing disjointed fragments instead of readable content.
Chart values vanish
Numbers inside embedded charts are easy to lose; structure-aware parsing keeps the data.
Notes are ignored
Speaker notes and grouped shapes need careful handling to end up as usable Markdown.
How it works
Format notes
One section per slide
Each slide becomes its own Markdown section with the slide title as a heading, keeping the deck's structure intact.
Speaker notes
Speaker notes are extracted and appended after each slide's content, clearly separated from the main text.
Charts and data
Embedded charts are rendered using their underlying data values and labels where available; purely decorative chart images may not yield structured output.
Legacy .ppt files
Both legacy .ppt and modern .pptx are supported, though older binary .ppt files may have lower fidelity than .pptx.
Example output
# Pitch Deck ## Problem Teams waste hours reformatting documents. ## Solution One-click document to Markdown.
Common questions
Does it read PPT and PPTX?
Yes, both legacy .ppt and modern .pptx are supported.
What is the maximum file size?
The free converter accepts PowerPoint files up to 10 MB. Larger files are supported on paid plans.
Are charts and tables included?
Chart titles and tabular data are captured where possible and appended as Markdown. Decorative chart images without underlying data may not produce structured output.
Are speaker notes extracted?
Yes. Speaker notes are extracted and appended after each slide's text content in the Markdown output.
How are slides structured in the output?
Each slide becomes a section with the slide title as a Markdown heading, followed by the slide body and any speaker notes.
Does it handle animations or transitions?
No. Animations, transitions, and other presentation-only effects are not represented in the Markdown output.
Is sign-up required?
No. Preview is free; download and history use a free account.
Is there a developer API?
Yes. Convert PowerPoint files programmatically via the REST API. See /developers for documentation.
