Good to know
- The PPT file is opened by LibreOffice, not by Microsoft Office. Text, tables, pictures and ordinary charts convert accurately; effects such as SmartArt, animations, some chart styles and fonts LibreOffice does not have can look different from Office, so check a complex file before relying on it.
- Only the text of the slides is kept, slide after slide: layout, pictures and shapes are not.
- Only the text is kept: fonts, colors, tables and pictures are not.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting PPT to TXT free?
Yes. Everyone gets 25 free credits a day, with no account needed. Conversions on our server use one credit per started minute of work, so most cost a single credit. Credits reset at midnight UTC.
Are my PPT files uploaded anywhere?
This conversion runs on our server, because reading a PPT file needs LibreOffice, which does not run in a browser. Your file is sent over an encrypted connection, and both it and the result are deleted 72 hours after the conversion. The server has no internet access while it works on your file.
How large can the PPT file be?
Up to 1 GB per file. This conversion runs on our server, which accepts files up to that size.
Will the TXT look the same as the PPT?
No: a TXT file holds only the text. Fonts, colors, tables and pictures are not kept.
Can I convert several PPT files at once?
Yes. Add as many files as you like; they are converted one after another, and each one gets its own Download button.
