PPT Generator

Write your presentation in Markdown and download a ready-to-present .pptx file in seconds.

Overview

PPT Generator converts Markdown text into a PowerPoint presentation. You write your content using a simple set of formatting rules — headings for slide titles, bullet points for content, and --- to start a new slide — then choose your aspect ratio, font, and size. Click Convert and a .pptx file downloads immediately.

If you use AI Chat to draft a presentation outline, it can offer to open the content directly in PPT Generator so you skip the copy-and-paste step entirely.

Step-by-Step Guide

Write Your Markdown Content

Type or paste your presentation content into the text area. Use the Markdown formatting rules below to structure your slides. Each block of content separated by --- becomes one slide.

If you’re not sure where to start, ask AI Chat to generate a slide outline for your topic and use the Open in PPT Generator button it provides.

Configure the Presentation

Before converting, set three options:

Aspect ratio — Choose 16:9 for widescreen presentations (most common for projectors and screens) or 4:3 for a traditional square slide format.
Font size — Pick a size between 12 and 24 pt. 18 pt is a good default for most presentations.
Font family — Choose from 20 options. Standard fonts like Arial, Helvetica, Times New Roman, and Georgia are available. If your content includes Chinese, Japanese, or other CJK characters, select a CJK-compatible font: 標楷體 or 新細明體 for Traditional Chinese, SimHei for Simplified Chinese, or Meiryo for Japanese.

Convert and Download

Click Convert. The generator processes your Markdown and a .pptx file downloads to your device. Open it in Microsoft PowerPoint, LibreOffice, Keynote, or any presentation software that supports the .pptx format.

Markdown Formatting Rules

Use this syntax in the text area to control how your slides are built.

Separating slides

Put --- on its own line to end one slide and start the next.

Slide title

The first heading on each slide (# or ##) becomes the slide title.

Section headers within a slide

Additional headings below the first one become sub-headers inside that slide.

Bullet points

Lines starting with - or * become bullet items on the slide.

Bold and italic

Wrap text in **double asterisks** for bold, or *single asterisks* for italic. Both are preserved in the output.

Text blocks

Regular paragraphs (plain lines without any Markdown prefix) become text blocks on the slide.

Example


# Q3 Business Review

- Revenue up 12% quarter over quarter
- Launched two new product lines
- Team grew from 40 to 55 people

---

## Key Wins

**Top achievement:** Closed the partnership with Acme Corp

- Signed in July after 3-month negotiation
- Expected to contribute 20% of Q4 revenue

---

## Challenges

- Supply chain delays impacted hardware delivery
- Customer support ticket volume increased by 30%

This example produces three slides. The first uses # as the title with three bullet points. The second uses ## as the title with bold text and bullets. The third is another titled slide with bullets.

AI Chat Integration

When you ask AI Chat to create a presentation outline — for example, “create a 5-slide pitch deck for a SaaS product” — it will generate the content and show an Open in PPT Generator button alongside the response. Clicking that button opens PPT Generator with the AI’s content already loaded in the text area. You can then adjust the content, set your font and size, and convert immediately.

This workflow is faster than copying text manually, especially for longer presentations.

Common Questions

My Chinese or Japanese characters are showing as boxes or question marks. Select a CJK font from the font family dropdown before converting. 標楷體 and 新細明體 work for Traditional Chinese, SimHei for Simplified Chinese, and Meiryo for Japanese. Standard fonts like Arial do not include CJK glyphs.

Can I edit the slides after downloading? Yes. The .pptx file is fully editable in PowerPoint, LibreOffice Impress, or Keynote. You can change colors, rearrange content, add images, and apply themes after downloading.

The layout doesn’t look quite right. The generator creates a clean, text-based layout from your Markdown. For heavy formatting — multiple images per slide, precise positioning, custom colors — it’s easier to open the .pptx in PowerPoint after download and make those adjustments there.
