PowerPoint (PPTX) to Markdown Converter

Convert a PowerPoint presentation to Markdown, with each slide becoming its own section and speaker notes rendered as blockquotes underneath. This is the fastest way to turn a pitch deck, training deck, or lecture slides into text that's searchable, LLM-friendly, and version-controllable in Git. Handles PPTX only (not the older .ppt format).

What this converter preserves

Each slide becomes an H2 section titled by the slide's own title — the deck's outline is preserved
Bullet lists on slides render as proper Markdown lists with correct nesting
Speaker notes are extracted and formatted as blockquotes so they're distinguishable from on-slide content
Slide numbers are included in section headings so you can reference "slide 12" and find it in the Markdown

When you'd use this

Turning a sales pitch deck into a Markdown handout for prospects who want a text version
Feeding training slides into an LLM to auto-generate quiz questions or study notes
Archiving old presentations in a searchable Git repo instead of a shared drive full of .pptx blobs
Cross-referencing slide content against a written spec — Markdown diff shows exactly what changed slide-by-slide

How it works

1

Upload your .pptx deck

Drop the PowerPoint file onto the uploader. Files up to 20 MB are supported — that covers most decks.
2

Convert

Click Convert to process every slide. Slides are extracted in the order they appear in the deck.
3

Preview and export

The Markdown output appears in a preview pane. Copy it or download as a .md file with the deck's outline intact.

Frequently asked questions

Are speaker notes included?

Yes — speaker notes for each slide are extracted and rendered as a blockquote right after that slide's content. This is one of the few converters that actually preserves notes.

What about images, charts, and animations?

Images and charts appear as `[Image]` or `[Chart]` placeholders. Animations don't translate to a static format — they're dropped. If a chart shows critical data, export it from PowerPoint as a table and convert that separately.

Does it work with .ppt (legacy format)?

No — only .pptx (Office 2007+). Open the old .ppt in PowerPoint and Save As → .pptx first.

How are slide layouts handled?

Layout templates are ignored — only content on the slide is extracted. Master-slide branding, footers, and backgrounds don't make it into the Markdown, which is usually what you want.

Can I convert a Google Slides deck?

Yes — export it from Google Slides as .pptx (File → Download → Microsoft PowerPoint) and upload the .pptx file. Direct Google Slides URL support is not available.
