Org to POTM Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
Org mode is the Emacs ecosystem's plain-text format for notes, TODO lists, authoring and literate programming — asterisk headings, TODO keywords, #+begin_src blocks. Everything lives in one future-proof text file. Extract text and structure from POTM templates like any PPTX.
Because the whole conversion happens on your device, it is instant, unlimited and genuinely private — no accounts, no watermarks, no files on anyone's server. Multiple files are converted in one go.

About the Org format
Org mode is the Emacs universe's answer to "what if everything was plain text": one .org file holds your outlines, TODO states with agendas, deadlines, tables and even runnable code blocks. Twenty years of personal knowledge management workflows are built on its asterisk-and-keyword syntax.
Its reach outside Emacs used to be the pain — now a converter bridges it. Markdown collaborators get .md, managers get .docx, readers get .epub, and LaTeX journals get .tex, all with the outline hierarchy intact. Bringing Markdown back into Org is equally one click.

About the POTM 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 Org to POTM 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 Org to POTM?
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.
Will Org to POTM keep the slide order?
Yes — slides are read from the file in their real order and numbered, so the output follows the deck exactly.
Does the conversion include images and backgrounds?
No. This is a text extraction: words on slides survive, layouts, backgrounds, animations and pictures do not. Keep the original deck for the visuals.
