Markdown to PowerPoint

Paste Markdown and get an editable PowerPoint (.pptx) — headings become titles, lists become bullets, code stays formatted.

Markdown is the fastest way to draft a deck: write headings and bullets in plain text and let the structure become slides. WebToSlides converts Markdown to an editable PowerPoint — `#`/`##` become slide titles and section dividers, list items become native bullet placeholders, fenced code blocks land on their own slides, and tables stay editable. Paste your Markdown, review the outline, and download a real .pptx.

How do I convert Markdown to PowerPoint (PPTX)?

Paste your Markdown into WebToSlides (the Markdown input mode), pick a template, approve the proposed outline, and click Generate. You’ll get a real .pptx where `#` and `##` headings become slide titles and dividers, `-`/`*` lists become native bullet placeholders, fenced code blocks get dedicated code slides, and Markdown tables become editable PowerPoint tables — not screenshots.

Markdown structure → slide structure

Your Markdown headings already are a slide outline

Markdown encodes exactly the hierarchy a deck needs. WebToSlides reads that structure directly — it doesn’t screenshot a rendered page — so the mapping from document to slides is predictable and the output stays fully editable.

  • `#` / `##` headings become slide titles and section dividers.
  • `-`, `*`, and numbered lists become native bullet placeholders with nesting.
  • Fenced ``` code blocks ``` land on dedicated, monospaced code slides.
  • Markdown tables become editable PowerPoint tables, not images.
  • Output opens editable in PowerPoint, Keynote, and Google Slides.

Frequently asked questions

Is ‘Markdown to PowerPoint’ the same as ‘Markdown to PPTX’?+

Yes. PPTX is PowerPoint’s native file format, so converting Markdown to PowerPoint produces a .pptx file. WebToSlides outputs a standards-compliant .pptx that opens editable in PowerPoint, Keynote, LibreOffice Impress, and Google Slides.

What Markdown features are supported?+

Headings (slide titles), bullet and numbered lists (native placeholders), fenced code blocks (dedicated code slides), tables (editable PowerPoint tables), images, and links. Common inline HTML maps too; unusual markup is simplified to keep the deck editable.

Will the slides be editable?+

Yes. Every element is a native PowerPoint shape — editable text, bullets, tables, and code frames — not an image, so you can restyle and rewrite freely.

Can I use the result in Google Slides?+

Yes. Export a Google Slides-ready PPTX, then choose File → Import slides in Google Slides.

Is the exported PowerPoint file editable?+

Yes. WebToSlides exports a real PPTX file with editable text, speaker notes, and standard layouts. Open it in PowerPoint, Keynote, or upload it to Google Slides.
