Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the PowerPoint text extractor.

How do I extract text from a PowerPoint for free?

Upload your .pptx file using the tool above. Click Extract Text, then download the result as TXT or Markdown. No registration or payment required.

What file formats are supported?

Input: .pptx (PowerPoint 2007 and newer). Output: .txt (plain text) or .md (Markdown). Maximum file size is 200 MB.

Does it preserve slide structure?

Yes. In Markdown output, each slide is labeled with a heading, bullet points keep their hierarchy, and speaker notes are included as block quotes.

Is it safe to upload my files?

Yes. Files are processed on our own servers and deleted immediately after extraction. We do not store your presentations or use them for AI training.

Does it work on Mac and mobile?

Yes. The tool runs entirely in your browser — no software installation needed. Works on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.

What about images and charts?

The extractor focuses on text content. Images, charts, and embedded objects are not included in the output. Only readable text is extracted.

Is there a conversion limit?

No limit. Extract text from as many presentations as you need, for free.

Can I extract text from older .ppt files?

Currently we support .pptx only. If you have older .ppt files, open them in PowerPoint and save as .pptx first.
