PowerPoint to Markdown Converter
Upload a slide deck or paste a link and get the text of every slide as markdown, with tables and speaker notes included.
How to convert PowerPoint to Markdown
- 1
Upload a .pptx file or paste a URL
Drop a PowerPoint deck (PPTX or the older PPT) or an OpenDocument presentation (ODP). The free converter handles 20 free conversions per day, up to 50 pages (5 for scans and images) and 5 MB each.
- 2
Slides are read in order
Titles, bullet points and tables from each slide are converted to markdown, and speaker notes are kept below the slide they belong to.
- 3
Copy or download the markdown
Use the result for notes, documentation, a slide-to-doc rewrite or an LLM prompt, or download a .md file.
Why convert slides to Markdown
Slide decks hold a lot of knowledge that is hard to search or reuse. As markdown, the content of a deck can go into a wiki, be summarized by an LLM, or be indexed for RAG together with your other documents.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the converter free?
- Yes. You get 20 free conversions per day, up to 50 pages (5 for scans and images) and 5 MB each, without an account. A free account adds 100 API credits for larger files and automation.
- Are images on the slides converted?
- The converter reads the text, tables and speaker notes of each slide. Pictures inside slides are not read with OCR; upload a screenshot of a slide as an image if you need the text inside it.
- Which file types can I convert?
- PDF, Word (DOCX, DOC), Excel (XLSX, XLS), PowerPoint (PPTX, PPT), OpenDocument (ODT, ODS, ODP), RTF, EPUB, HTML, Markdown, TXT, CSV, TSV, XML, JSON and images (PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, TIFF, BMP, HEIC). Every converter page takes every format, so you can drop any of them here.
- Is my file kept?
- Files are never stored permanently or used for training, and data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Files from failed requests on the shared General Instance are kept encrypted for up to 14 days to diagnose the failure, then deleted automatically.
- Can I convert files in bulk or from code?
- Yes. The Document Parse API takes the same files (by upload, base64 or URL) and returns markdown, with optional page-by-page output, from TypeScript, Python, cURL, Zapier, Make or n8n.
