PowerPoint (PPTX) to Markdown

Drop a .pptx deck and get a Markdown outline — each slide's title as a heading, its text as bullets, and speaker notes included. It all happens in your browser.

Runs in your browser. Your input is not uploaded to PayloadIQ.

A deck, flattened into a readable outline

A .pptx stores every slide as its own XML file, with text spread across separate shapes. This converter reads them in order, treats the title placeholder as a ## heading, and turns the other text boxes into bullets that keep their nesting. Speaker notes are appended under each slide, so the full thinking behind the deck comes through — not just the headlines.

Why Markdown is better AI context than a slide file

Slides are designed to be seen, not parsed. A model can't read the binary, and exported text usually arrives jumbled and out of sequence. A Markdown outline preserves the order and hierarchy of the deck as plain text, so an AI can summarize the talk, pull action items, or answer questions about it reliably.

Runs locally

Nothing is uploaded — the deck is processed entirely in your browser. Copy the Markdown or download a .md file.

FAQ

Are my slides uploaded?
No. The .pptx is unpacked and read in your browser. The deck never leaves your device, so internal or client presentations stay private.
What gets pulled out of each slide?
The title placeholder becomes a Markdown heading, and the remaining text boxes become bullet points that keep their indent levels. If a slide has speaker notes, they're added underneath as a blockquote.
Why convert slides to Markdown for AI?
A deck scatters a story across shapes and slides, which a model can't open directly. Flattening it to a clean outline gives the AI the full narrative in order — ideal for summarizing a talk, drafting a recap, or feeding a presentation into a knowledge base.
Does it keep images and animations?
No — those don't translate to text. You get the words: titles, bullets, and notes, slide by slide, which is what matters for search and AI.
