PPTX Builder
Build branded PowerPoint presentations from Markdown with local themes, speaker notes, and continuation slides.
Powered by pptxgenjs. Write your presentation in Markdown, choose a local theme, and export a .pptx with speaker notes from <!--notes: ... --> comments.
Features
- Markdown to PowerPoint — each
## heading becomes a new slide automatically
- Three built-in themes — CX Navy, Corporate, and Minimal themes give each deck a consistent visual system
- Continuation slides — long Markdown sections continue onto a labeled follow-up slide instead of being silently truncated
- Speaker notes — HTML comment notes become presenter notes
- Fully local — no cloud upload, everything runs via pptxgenjs
- Starter template — scaffold a presentation.md with one command
- Slide structure preview — list all slides in the output channel before exporting
## Slide Title
Your content here. Bullet lists, paragraphs, all supported.
<!--notes: These become speaker notes -->
