PPT

PPT is the legacy presentation format used by Microsoft PowerPoint 97-2003, based on the Compound File Binary Format. PPT stores slides with formatted text, raster images, and multimedia in structured binary streams. Converting PPT files to modern PPTX, PDF, and image formats enables editing and viewing across all modern devices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is converting PPT to TXT free?
Yes. This PPT → TXT converter runs entirely in your browser and is completely free — no account, no credits, no watermark.
Which devices and platforms can I use to convert PPT to TXT?
Any modern device with a current web browser: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iPhone and iPad. There is nothing to install — the conversion happens locally.
Are my PPT files uploaded to a server?
No. Files never leave your device. The entire PPT → TXT conversion runs locally in your browser, so your data stays private.
Can I convert multiple PPT files at once?
Yes — batch conversion is supported. Add as many PPT files as you like and convert them to TXT in one pass, then download the results together.
What is the maximum file size?
There is no fixed server-side limit because the conversion happens in your browser. Practical limits depend on the available memory and CPU of your device.
Will converting PPT to TXT lose quality?
No. TXT is a lossless format (or used in a lossless mode here), so the original data from your PPT file is preserved bit-for-bit in the converted result.
Will transparent areas of my PPT file be kept in TXT?
No — TXT does not support transparency. Transparent areas of your PPT file will be flattened onto a solid background colour during conversion.
How will the file size change after converting PPT to TXT?
Both formats use comparable compression, so the TXT output will be similar in size to your PPT file — typically within 10–20% of each other.
