Free PPTX to Word Converter

Choose a .pptx file and download its slide text as a Word-compatible document, with a "Slide 1", "Slide 2" heading for each slide. The tool does not upload your file. It extracts text only, so pictures, tables and layout are left out.

Why use this tool?

Why use this tool?

Slides are awkward to read as notes or to edit as running text. Copying from slide to slide by hand is slow, and the text comes out in pieces. This tool collects the text of every slide in one go and puts it in a document you can open in Word, add notes to and print.

How to use it

How to use it

  1. Step 1

    Choose your PPTX file

    Drag the file onto the upload box or click it to browse. Only .pptx files up to 50 MB are accepted.
  2. Step 2

    Click Convert to Word

    The progress bar shows how far the tool has got while it reads each slide.
  3. Step 3

    Download the file

    When the conversion finishes, click the download button to save the file.
  4. Step 4

    Open and review in Word

    Check the slide order and tidy any split paragraphs. Use Save As if you want a standard .docx.

What gets converted

A .pptx file is a ZIP package. The tool opens it in your browser, finds the slide files inside, reads the text from each one and builds a document with a heading such as "Slide 3" followed by that slide’s text. Each slide starts on a new page. A slide with no text gets a short "(No text content in this slide)" line instead.

Text only: what is left out

Pictures, charts, SmartArt, shapes, fonts, colors, bullets, tables and slide layouts are not carried over, and neither are speaker notes. If your slide contains text inside an image, that text is not read, because the tool has no OCR. Think of the result as a plain script of the slides, not a copy of the design.

How the text is split into paragraphs

The tool takes each text run it finds in the slide and writes it as its own paragraph. A sentence that was formatted in several pieces in PowerPoint, for example with one bold word, can therefore appear as several short paragraphs. Expect to tidy the text a little after converting.

About the downloaded file

The file is named with a .docx extension, but it is built from HTML with a Word-compatible type rather than being a standard Office Open XML package. Word normally opens it, though it may show a message about the file format or open it in a restricted view. If you need a standard .docx, open the file in Word and use Save As to save it again as Word Document.

Slide order

Slides are ordered by the number in their file names inside the package (slide1, slide2, and so on). If you moved slides around in PowerPoint, this can differ from the order you see on screen, so check the headings against your deck.

Features explained

Drag and drop or click to choose

Drop a .pptx file onto the upload box or click it to browse. The tool takes one file at a time. Once a file is selected, a Change button lets you pick a different one before converting.

Type and size check

Only files ending in .pptx are accepted, up to 50 MB. Anything else shows an error straight away. Older .ppt files are not accepted.

Progress while it works

A progress bar with a percentage runs while the slides are read one by one. Very large files can make the page unresponsive for a while, because the work happens on the main browser thread.

One section per slide

Every slide gets its own "Slide N" heading and starts on a new page, which makes it easy to match the text back to the original slide.

Manual download and start over

When the conversion finishes, the file name is shown with a download button. The file is saved with your original name and a .docx extension. "Convert another file" clears everything so you can start again.

What can you use it for?

Lecture notes

Collect the text of class slides in one document and add your own notes between the sections.

Editing slide wording

Review or proofread all the text of a deck in Word instead of clicking through each slide.

Drafting a report from a presentation

Use the slide text as a starting outline for a written summary or article.

Printing a text-only handout

Print the wording of a deck without pictures, using a page per slide.

Benefits

  • Gets all the slide text into one document in a single step.
  • The file is not uploaded by this tool.
  • Slide headings and page breaks make it easy to find the original slide.
  • No sign-in step and nothing to install.

Limitations

  • Text only: images, tables, charts, shapes, fonts, colors, bullets and speaker notes are not included.
  • Text inside pictures is not read; there is no OCR.
  • Each text run becomes its own paragraph, so sentences can be split into several lines.
  • The file is Word-compatible but not a standard .docx package, so Word may show a format message when opening it.
  • Slides follow the order of their file numbers, which may differ from the order shown in PowerPoint. Hidden slides are not skipped.
  • The "Slide N" headings are generated in English, even on the Bengali page.
  • Only .pptx files up to 50 MB, one at a time. Password-protected files are not supported.
  • There is no cancel button, and large files can freeze the page for a while.

What the tool checks

The tool checks that the file name ends in .pptx and that the size is 50 MB or less. It does not scan the file for anything else, and it cannot open password-protected presentations. If the file cannot be read, you see a general error message.

Privacy

The file is read and converted in your browser, and the conversion code does not send it to a server. Other scripts on the site, such as analytics or ads, are not part of this tool.

Tips

  • Open the result in Word and use Save As to keep a standard .docx copy.
  • Compare the "Slide N" headings with your deck, especially if you reordered slides.
  • If a slide shows "(No text content in this slide)", its content is probably an image or chart.
  • For a visual copy of the slides, use a PowerPoint to PDF or image tool instead.

Frequently asked questions

Is this converter free?

Yes. The tool has no sign-in or payment step.

Is my presentation uploaded to a server?

Not by this tool. The file is read in your browser and the conversion code makes no network request with it. Other scripts on the site, such as analytics, are separate from the converter.

What exactly ends up in the Word file?

The text found on each slide, under a "Slide N" heading, with a page break after each slide. Pictures, tables, charts, shapes, formatting and speaker notes are not included.

Why are some sentences split across several lines?

The tool writes each piece of text it finds as its own paragraph. If PowerPoint stored a sentence in several parts, for example because of mixed formatting, it appears in parts here too.

Is the result a real .docx file?

It has a .docx name and is meant to open in Word, but it is built from HTML rather than a standard .docx package. Word may show a message about the format. Saving it again from Word as a Word Document gives you a standard file.

Will the slides appear in the right order?

Usually, but not always. Slides are ordered by their internal file numbers, which can differ from the on-screen order if slides were moved. Check the headings against your deck.

Can it read text that is inside images?

No. The tool has no OCR, so text that is part of a picture is not extracted.

What is the maximum file size?

Up to 50 MB per file. A larger file shows an error before conversion starts.

Does it work with .ppt files or password-protected presentations?

No. Only .pptx files are accepted, and password-protected presentations are not supported. Save an older .ppt as .pptx in PowerPoint, and remove the password first.
