How to convert a PowerPoint to Markdown

  1. Drop your .pptx into the box above (or click to browse). The deck is unpacked and parsed on your own device — nothing is uploaded.
  2. Each slide is read in order — its title placeholder, its body text, any tables, and the speaker notes attached to it.
  3. Download the .md or copy the Markdown into your AI chat. Slide numbers survive, so you can ask about "slide 7" and get an answer about slide 7.

What the converter does with your deck

A slide deck has a natural Markdown shape — a deck is a sequence, and each slide has a title and points. The converter leans into that:

  • One section per slide, headed ## Slide 3: Its Title — the title comes from the slide's actual title placeholder, not a guess at the first line.
  • Body text becomes bullet points, which is what nearly all slide text is anyway. Order on the slide is preserved.
  • Tables come out as Markdown tables with a header row — read from the deck's real table structure.
  • Speaker notes are included as quotes under each slide. This is often where the actual substance of a presentation lives, and it's the part every copy-paste from PowerPoint loses.

A real example

This is actual output from this converter. The input was a two-slide deck — a roadmap slide with bullets and a speaker note, and a budget slide with a table:

## Slide 1: Q3 Roadmap

- Ship the mobile app
- Cut onboarding to two minutes

**Speaker notes:**

> Mention the beta waitlist numbers here.

## Slide 2: Budget

| Team | Spend |
| --- | --- |
| Mobile | 40k |
| Platform | 25k |

The deck's shape is all there: slides as sections, points as bullets, the table as a table — and the note the presenter wrote to themselves, which the audience never saw but the AI now can.

Why not just upload the .pptx to the chat?

Slide decks are mostly not text — they're themes, layouts, embedded images and fonts. The words on a 40-slide deck often fit in a few kilobytes of Markdown, while the file itself runs to many megabytes that either get rejected by the chat's upload limit or burned through as processing overhead. Convert first and the AI gets exactly the part it can reason about, labelled by slide, at plain-text prices.

The fine print

Old binary .ppt files need re-saving first. The pre-2007 .ppt format is a different beast internally and can't be unpacked in the browser. Open it in PowerPoint and Save As → .pptx, then convert. Modern .pptx and OpenDocument .odp both work directly.

Charts and pictures aren't extracted. Markdown is text: a chart's underlying message survives only if it's also written on the slide or in the notes. A slide that is entirely one big image converts to little or nothing — if the image contains text, run it through the image converter instead.

Layout is flattened. Two-column slides and SmartArt read top-to-bottom as a plain list. The words survive; the arrangement doesn't — which is usually fine for AI context, where the arrangement was never going to survive anyway.

PowerPoint conversion questions

Is this PPT to Markdown converter free?

▼

Yes — free, unlimited, no account. The deck is converted in your browser, so there's no server cost and nothing to meter.

Is my presentation uploaded anywhere?

▼

No. The .pptx is unpacked and read by JavaScript on your own device. Board decks and internal strategy presentations never leave your machine.

Do speaker notes come through?

▼

Yes — each slide's notes appear as a quoted block under that slide. Notes are often where the real narrative lives, and they're exactly what gets lost when people copy-paste slides into a chat.

Can I convert an old .ppt file?

▼

Re-save it as .pptx first (File → Save As in PowerPoint), then convert. The old binary format can't be parsed in the browser; the modern format converts fully.

How do I ask an AI about a specific slide?

▼

Every slide becomes a numbered section — '## Slide 7: Pricing'. Paste the Markdown and ask about slide 7 by number; the AI can quote and cite it precisely.

What about a folder of decks?

▼

Zip them and use the ZIP converter — every deck in the archive is converted and stitched into one Markdown document, a section per file.
