How are slides represented in Markdown?

Each slide is converted to a Markdown section with its title as a heading and content as body text, in the original slide order. Speaker notes are included with their slide.

Are speaker notes included?

Yes — speaker notes are extracted and placed with the slide they belong to, which is often where the real substance of a deck lives.

Can I convert Google Slides to Markdown?

Yes, indirectly: in Google Slides choose File → Download → Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx), then upload that file here.

Do charts and images come through?

No — charts convert to their text labels at best, and images are skipped. The converter extracts the deck's text content; visual design has no Markdown equivalent.

Why convert a presentation to Markdown?

To make it searchable, diffable, and AI-readable. A converted deck can be summarized by Claude or ChatGPT, added to NotebookLM as a source, or published in a docs site — none of which works with a raw .pptx.

How slides become Markdown

The converter walks your deck slide by slide, in order. Each slide's title becomes a Markdown heading, its bullet points become lists, tables convert to Markdown tables, and speaker notes are included with the slide they belong to. What you get is the deck's full text content as one structured, searchable document — the story of the presentation without the design.

That's the point of converting a deck: presentations trap useful content (training material, strategy, research findings) in a format you can't search, diff, or feed to an AI. As Markdown, a 40-slide deck becomes a document you can skim in a minute or drop into Claude for a summary.

What converts — and what stays behind

Text is what survives: titles, body bullets, table contents, and notes. Visual design doesn't — slide layouts, positioning, animations, and transitions have no Markdown equivalent. Charts come through as their text labels at best, SmartArt as its raw text, and embedded video or audio is skipped entirely. If a slide is a single full-bleed image with no text, it converts to an empty section.

Files are processed and immediately deleted — decks are never stored. Free tier: 3 conversions per day, 25MB max; Pro: unlimited, 100MB.

Decks as AI input

Slide decks are dense with signal — that's why converting them for LLM use works so well. Teams convert conference decks into study notes, sales decks into searchable battle cards, and lecture slides into NotebookLM sources. The per-slide heading structure means AI tools can cite which slide an answer came from.

Example: what the Markdown output looks like

A slide with a title, bullets, and speaker notes converts to:

the bottleneck is conversion, not reach.
