PPSX to TXT Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
PPSX is the "slide show" flavor of PPTX — same slides, same XML, but double-clicking starts the presentation instead of the editor. Plain text is perfect for notes and data you want to paste anywhere; extracting PDF content to TXT makes it searchable and editable.
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 PPSX 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
About the TXT format
TXT is the floor of computing: a sequence of characters and nothing else. No headings, no bold, no embedded images — and because there is nothing to interpret, every editor, terminal, programming language and operating system ever built opens one. Modern files are UTF-8; older ones may be GBK, Latin-1 or Shift-JIS, which is the only surprise plain text can still deliver.
Its limits are obvious — no formatting means no structure — yet that is exactly why TXT refuses to die: logs, notes, code, READMEs, config fragments and data dumps all live happily as plain text. When you need the content and not the styling, TXT is the lowest-friction answer there is.
+ Strengths
- ✓Opens absolutely everywhere, including terminals
- ✓Tiny files, no parser, no corruption vectors
- ✓Perfect for logs, notes and machine-to-machine text
! Limitations
- −No formatting, structure or media whatsoever
- −Legacy encodings can garble non-English text

Frequently asked questions
Is this PPSX to TXT 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 PPSX to TXT?
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.
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.
Can I convert a password-protected deck?
No — protected decks are encrypted in the package. Remove the protection in the original application first.
