MD to POTX Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
Markdown Document and PowerPoint Template (OOXML) exist for different jobs: Markdown is the lightweight markup language used by GitHub, Notion and countless blogs: a few symbols turn plain text into headings, lists, links and code blocks. Convert POTX templates to PDF or PNG to preview the design.
This converter runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly — your files never leave your device, nothing is uploaded, and there are no watermarks, sign-ups or queues. Drop in several files at once to convert them as a batch.

About the MD format
Markdown (John Gruber, 2004) is plain text that renders into rich documents: `#` headings, `*` emphasis, lists, links, code fences. You can write it in any editor, read it as-is, diff it in git, and twenty years later it still opens — which is why GitHub, Stack Overflow, Notion, Obsidian and every static-site generator settled on it for prose.
Its one honest weakness is dialect fragmentation: tables, footnotes and task lists all started as extensions (GFM, MultiMarkdown, Pandoc), so a sophisticated document can render differently across tools. Core Markdown — headings, lists, links, code — is bulletproof everywhere.
+ Strengths
- ✓Future-proof plain text, renders anywhere
- ✓Perfect for version control and documentation
- ✓Low-friction: readable even unrendered
! Limitations
- −Extension dialects fragment advanced features
- −Complex layout and precise design are out of scope
About the POTX format
PPTX is the modern PowerPoint deck: a zip of XML parts describing slides, shapes, text runs and media. That structure is exactly why text can be extracted faithfully without PowerPoint — every word on every slide is in the package, with its slide number.
One honest limit: extraction is about words, not looks. Slide layouts, backgrounds, animations and images do not survive a text export — the output is the content of the deck, not a picture of it.
+ Strengths
- ✓Text and slide order preserved exactly
- ✓Opens in PowerPoint, Keynote, WPS, Slides
- ✓Zip+XML structure is machine-friendly
! Limitations
- −Text export loses layout and visuals
- −Charts and tables flatten to text

Frequently asked questions
Is this MD to POTX converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
Is there a file size limit for MD to POTX?
The only limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded. Files up to a few hundred megabytes work fine on a modern desktop browser; very large files simply take a little longer.
Can I convert a password-protected deck?
No — protected decks are encrypted in the package. Remove the protection in the original application first.
What about speaker notes?
The main extraction covers slide text; notes live in a separate part of the package and are not included in this export.
