How is the text extracted?

Our tool strictly validates file sizes to ensure smooth processing and maintain high performance (Each PowerPoint file must not exceed 20MB, and you can upload up to 5 PPT files per conversion session). This rigorous validation process helps prevent server overload and guarantees that your conversions are processed quickly. Once uploaded, the convertor uses python-pptx to automatically parse and read each slide. Then, it extracts text from all available elements—text boxes, paragraphs, and tables. The content from all slides is then combined and formatted with slide-wise separation before the preview. Finally, uploaded files are promptly removed from our server as soon as the conversion is complete.

What PowerPoint formats are supported?

What is the maximum file size or number of slides I can upload for conversion?

Each presentation must be 20MB or less and you can convert up to 5 PowerPoint files at once.

Will images, graphs, or non-text elements in my presentation affect the text extraction process?

Our extractor focuses solely on extracting text content from your slides. This means that text within standard text boxes and shapes is captured, whereas animations, embedded multimedia objects, or text contained in images are not processed.

Is the extracted text accurate and complete?

The completeness of the extraction depends on how the text is formatted within your presentation. Standard text boxes and shapes are captured reliably, but non-standard formatting or text embedded in images might not be extracted. If a slide has no detectable text, it will be clearly indicated as "No text found."

Caution: For presentations which use scanned images, this tool may or may not work. We are continuously working on improving it.
