Why convert PowerPoint to Word?
Presentations are great for showing, not for writing. When you want to turn slides into a report, study notes or a document to review with comments, it’s much easier to have them in Word.
Each slide becomes a page of the document, with the same layout. Text becomes Word text you can edit, copy and rearrange; tables become Word tables and images are placed where they belong. Pages follow the orientation of the slides (usually landscape).
Besides .pptx, it accepts old PowerPoint presentations (.ppt) and OpenDocument presentations (.odp). Animations, videos and speaker notes are not included.
The conversion happens on our server over an encrypted connection, and the file is deleted as soon as you get the result. The free try converts one presentation; with ToolStudio Pro, use is unlimited and you can convert several at once and download them together in a ZIP.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I edit the text in Word?
Yes. The text on the slides becomes Word text you can edit, copy and rearrange, and tables become Word tables.
What do the pages look like?
Each slide takes up one page, with the same orientation and layout as in the presentation (usually landscape).
Are speaker notes included?
No. The slides are converted as they’re shown on screen; notes, animations and videos are not included.
What happens to my file?
It’s sent to our server over an encrypted connection, converted and deleted as soon as you get the result. We don’t keep it, we don’t share it with anyone and we don’t use it for anything else.
Can I convert a password-protected presentation?
No. Files with an open password can’t be opened without it. Open the file in Word or PowerPoint, remove the password (File > Info > Protect) and try again.
Is it free?
You get one free try per tool: one file. You can convert that same file again as many times as you like, but to convert a new file you need ToolStudio Pro, which gives you unlimited use of every tool, batch processing (several files at once, downloaded together in a ZIP) and no ads. You can cancel anytime.
