About

The team behind WebToSlides

WebToSlides is built by a small team focused on a single problem: turning a webpage or HTML document into an editable PowerPoint deck. The output is a real .pptx file with native shapes — titles, bullets, tables, code blocks — not a wrapper around screenshots.

What we do

We build and maintain a conversion pipeline that fetches a webpage or accepts pasted HTML, extracts the article body, plans an outline, and renders it into Office Open XML. The result opens — fully editable — in PowerPoint, Keynote, LibreOffice Impress, and Google Slides (via PPTX import).

We deliberately stay narrow. WebToSlides does not convert PDFs, Word documents, Notion pages, or video transcripts. Doing one thing well — webpage and HTML to PPTX — is what lets us treat edge cases (unusual table markup, code-block formatting, embedded figures) as first-class problems rather than rounding errors.

We also publish guides and benchmarks on this topic. Every benchmark is reproducible: methodology, sample, and grading criteria are published with the results. See the 100-post conversion benchmark for an example.

Team

WebToSlides is organised into three small teams. Each post, converter feature, or template is owned by one of them.

WebToSlides Engineering

WebToSlides Editorial

Documentation, blog, and benchmarks

Benchmarks are reproducible — methodology and sample composition are published alongside results.

Expertise

  • Technical writing

  • Conversion-quality benchmarking
  • SEO & content strategy

WebToSlides Design

Slide templates & brand kits

The design team curates the slide template library and the brand-kit system that applies a workspace's logo, colour palette, and typography to every generated deck. Background in editorial design, presentation typography, and visual hierarchy.

Expertise

  • Presentation typography
  • Brand systems
  • Slide template design
  • Information design

Editorial standards

Every guide, comparison, and benchmark on this site is reviewed against the same four criteria before publication:

  1. Factually verifiable. Claims about file formats, standards, or competitor behaviour link to primary sources (the OOXML spec, Wikidata, the competitor's own documentation).
  2. Original analysis. Comparison and benchmark posts contain numbers we measured ourselves, with the methodology disclosed inline.
  3. Honest about trade-offs. Comparison posts include a "where the alternative wins" section. Benchmark posts publish failure modes alongside successes.
  4. Updated when wrong. When a competitor ships a feature that changes a comparison, or a benchmark result no longer holds, the post is updated and the updatedAt date is bumped.
