About Extract Slide Text
Pull the text out of every slide — titles, body placeholders, text boxes, tables and speaker notes — grouped by slide number. Export as plain text, Markdown or JSON.
The text in a deck is scattered across placeholders, text boxes, tables and speaker notes, and copying it out slide by slide is tedious enough that people retype it.
Pull all of it in one pass.

How Extract Slide Text works in your browser
Each slide’s XML is read directly from the .pptx archive and the shape tree walked, collecting text runs from title and body placeholders, free-standing text boxes and table cells. Speaker notes live in separate parts of the archive and are read from there.
Reading the container rather than a rendering is what makes this complete. Text positioned off the edge of a slide, or on a slide hidden from the presentation, is still in the file and is still extracted — which is useful when auditing and surprising when you had forgotten it was there.
Text inside a picture is not text and cannot be extracted. A slide whose content is a screenshot yields nothing, because there is nothing in the file but an image.
When to use it
Turning a deck into a written summary or a set of notes. Getting speaker notes out as a script before presenting. Making a presentation searchable, or feeding it into a document. Checking what text a deck still contains before circulating it outside.
Frequently asked questions
Which text does it find?
Titles, body placeholders, free-standing text boxes, table cells and speaker notes — grouped by slide number so you can see where each piece came from.
What formats can I export?
Plain text, Markdown or JSON. JSON keeps the slide structure, which is useful if the content is heading somewhere programmatic.
Is text inside images extracted?
No. Text baked into a picture is pixels, not text, and reading it would require OCR.
