Why Convert PowerPoint to Markdown?
PowerPoint presentations are great for visual storytelling, but their content is locked in a proprietary format. Converting to Markdown unlocks several benefits:
- Content Reusability: Extract presentation content for documentation, blog posts, or training materials
- Version Control: Track changes to presentation content with Git and other version control systems
- SEO Benefits: Make presentation content searchable and indexable by search engines
- Accessibility: Plain text format is more accessible than binary presentation files
- Multi-Platform: View and edit content on any device without PowerPoint
- Documentation: Turn presentation outlines into structured documentation
How PowerPoint to Markdown Conversion Works
Our converter uses JSZip to parse PPTX files (which are ZIP archives of XML files):
- Your .pptx file is unzipped to access its internal XML structure
- Each slide's XML file (ppt/slides/slideN.xml) is extracted
- Text content is parsed from XML tags (<a:t> elements)
- Each slide becomes a Markdown section with a heading
- Slides are separated with horizontal rules for readability
