Name every slide
Clear, unique slide titles become useful Markdown headings and make the converted outline easier to scan.
PPTX conversion
Convert a slide deck into a useful Markdown outline
Slides communicate through position, scale, and visuals. Markdown communicates through sequence and hierarchy. Conversion extracts the textual parts of a PPTX into a linear document so a deck can become meeting notes, an article outline, release documentation, or context for a developer workflow.
Supported extensions: .pptx. Files are processed temporarily and are not placed in public URLs.
Best fit
Structure-first conversion
Architecture reviews, technical talks, product briefs, training decks, and presentations whose key ideas are present as editable slide text.

Useful structure
What the conversion aims to preserve
- Slide sequence and slide titles as a navigable outline
- Text from common placeholders and text shapes
- Lists and simple tables where their structure is available
- Speaker notes when they are extractable from the presentation package
Manual review
Where cleanup may be needed
- Charts, diagrams, animations, transitions, and spatial relationships cannot be expressed faithfully
- Text inside screenshots or images is not extracted because OCR is disabled
- Overlapping or grouped shapes can produce an imperfect reading order
- A visual slide may need a short human-written description after conversion
Small example
From PowerPoint content to Markdown source
Conversion creates a linear starting point; it does not attempt to recreate the slide canvas.
Two architecture slides
Slide 1 — Edge cache Goals: lower latency, fewer origin requests Slide 2 — Rollout 10% canary → 50% → 100%
result.mdeditable
# Edge cache ## Goals - Lower latency - Fewer origin requests # Rollout 1. 10% canary 2. 50% 3. 100%
Better input, cleaner output
PowerPoint conversion tips
Move essential text out of images
Labels baked into screenshots are not available without OCR. Add the important conclusion as slide text or speaker notes.
Describe the visual argument
After conversion, add one or two sentences explaining any chart or architecture diagram that carried meaning through layout.

PowerPoint to Markdown FAQ
Practical answers about what the conversion does—and what still deserves a human review.
Are PowerPoint images converted to Markdown?
The service focuses on extractable presentation text. It does not run OCR or generate image descriptions, so visual-only content needs manual notes.
Does conversion preserve slide design?
No. Themes, coordinates, transitions, and animations are presentation concerns. The Markdown result is a linear content outline.
Why is some slide text out of order?
A slide can contain independently positioned shapes with no single reading order. Grouped, overlapping, or decorative elements may require rearranging in the editor.
