Convert PowerPoint to Markdown

Why convert slides before sending them to AI
A .pptx file stores every slide as a tree of shapes, positions and styling that surrounds a few lines of actual text. An AI reads all of that scaffolding and bills you for it. Markdown keeps the words, the titles and the bullet structure, and throws away the layout. The same deck usually loses 30 to 40 percent of its token count, so you pay less and the model reads the points instead of the packaging.
Slide text only, not the visuals
You get the text on each slide and its tables. Images, charts, diagrams and SmartArt are not captured, since the output is text for AI rather than a picture of the deck. Speaker notes may not come through either, so paste anything important onto a slide if you need it converted.
PowerPoint to Markdown questions
Is it free?
Yes. No account, no limits, no cost. Convert as many decks as you want.
Do my slides get uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser, so the file stays on your device and its contents are never sent to a server.
What gets pulled from each slide?
The text: titles, bullet points and any tables. It comes out in slide order, so the flow of the deck is easy to follow in Markdown.
Are images and charts included?
No. Pictures, charts, diagrams and SmartArt are left out. You get the words on the slides, which is what an AI model reads.
Does it read the old .ppt format?
Not directly. Open the file in PowerPoint and save it as .pptx, then convert that. The modern .pptx format is what the tool reads.
How big a deck can I convert?
Up to 15 MB. Image-heavy decks can be large, so a slimmer copy converts faster, but only the text is read either way.
