What This Tool Offers
This free tool extracts all text from a PowerPoint (PPTX) in your browser. Copy to clipboard or download as a TXT file—no uploads, no account required.
- Extract all text: Text from slides, shapes, and text boxes. Optionally include speaker notes; output as one block or by slide with word/character count.
- Copy: One-click copy the extracted text to your clipboard.
- Download TXT: Save the text as a .txt file for editing or reuse.
- Client-side and private: Your file is never uploaded; processing runs in your browser.
Output Options and Speaker Notes
Choose how the extracted text is organized: One block puts all slide text (and optional speaker notes) in a single flow with blank lines between slides. By slide adds clear headers like “--- Slide 1 ---” and “Notes:” so you can see which content came from which slide—useful for scripts, transcripts, or editing. Turn on Include speaker notes to pull text from the notes pane (ppt/notesSlides) so presenter notes are included in the output. The tool also shows word and character count and the file size of your PPTX.
Why Extract Text from PowerPoint?
Extracting text helps you reuse content in documents or reports, run word counts for compliance or translation, search or index presentation content, archive presentation text without opening the slides, and capture speaker notes for scripts or transcripts—all without sending files to a server.
How It Works
Upload a PPTX file (or use “Choose another file” to switch files). Optionally enable speaker notes and pick one block or by-slide output. The tool reads the presentation in your browser, collects text from all slides (and notes if enabled), and displays it with word and character count. Copy to clipboard or download as a TXT file; your file never leaves your device.
Powered by browser APIs and client-side processing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my presentation secure?
Yes. Extraction runs entirely in your browser. Your PPTX never leaves your device.
Can I include speaker notes?
Yes. Turn on “Include speaker notes” to add notes text to the extraction. You can output as one block or by slide (--- Slide 1 ---, etc.). Word and character count are shown below the text.
What is the difference between one block and by-slide output?
One block concatenates all slide text (and notes if enabled) with blank lines between slides. By-slide adds headers like “--- Slide 1 ---” and “Notes:” so you can see which text came from which slide.
Will formatting be preserved?
No. The tool extracts plain text only. Formatting, slide structure, and layout are not included in the output.
Can I process another file without clearing?
Yes. After extraction, use “Choose another file” to pick a different PPTX; the tool will process the new file without needing to clear first.
What if my PPTX has images?
Text from text boxes and shapes is extracted. Text inside images is not extracted (that would require OCR).
