About PowerPoint to HTML
Turns a PowerPoint presentation (.pptx) into one web page file (.html) that anyone can open in a browser, with no PowerPoint and no internet connection. Use the arrow keys to move between slides, press G for a grid of all slides and N for speaker notes (when you include them). Two ways: "Text and pictures" rebuilds each slide as clean, readable web text with its images, and "Exact look" draws every slide as a picture, so it looks like the original.
"Text and pictures" gives a small file with text people can select and search, and it fits any screen; charts, SmartArt, video and animations are not carried over and the report lists them. "Exact look" keeps the design but the text is part of the pictures. Speaker notes are off by default so they are not shared by accident. Hidden slides are left out unless you tick the box.
- What is in the HTML file?
- Everything: the slides, their pictures and, if you choose, the speaker notes. It is one file with no links to other files, so it opens from a USB stick or an email attachment with no internet connection.
- What is the difference between the two ways?
- Text and pictures rebuilds each slide as readable web text with its images: small, searchable and fits any screen. Exact look draws every slide as a picture, so it looks like the original but the text is part of the picture.
- What is not carried over?
- Charts, SmartArt, video, audio, animations and transitions. The result lists what was left out of your deck. Use Exact look if a chart or diagram matters.
- Are the speaker notes included?
- Only if you tick the box, so notes are not shared by accident. With notes included, the N key shows them.
- Is anything uploaded?
- No. The page is built in your browser tab from your file.
How to use PowerPoint to HTML
Drop your .pptx, choose Text and pictures or Exact look, then the look, the page title and whether speaker notes and hidden slides go in. Check the preview; click inside it and use the arrow keys. Download the .html file.
When to use it
Useful for sharing a deck as a link or a single file with people who will not open PowerPoint, for a slideshow on a kiosk or a USB stick, and for putting a presentation on a web page.
When not to use it
If the deck relies on charts, SmartArt, video or animation, use Exact look, or PowerPoint to Video. For a printable copy, use PowerPoint to PDF.
Tips for best results
Notes are off by default so they are not shared by accident. Press G in the page for a grid of slides and N for notes.
Limitations
Text and pictures mode leaves out charts, SmartArt, video, audio, animation and transitions, and lists them. Exact look makes each slide a picture, so the text cannot be selected. Very large pictures are left out to keep the file a sensible size and are listed.
Privacy
The deck is turned into a web page inside your browser tab and is not uploaded. A request that counts the use goes to this site when you download and carries no part of your file.
