Import PowerPoint and Markdown example slide

PowerPoint import

SlidesBat reads the slide size, text boxes with their sizes, colours, bold, italic and bullets, pictures, common shapes, lines, tables, solid backgrounds and speaker notes. It is a best effort import: complex effects may need a touch up.

  • Text stays editable
  • Pictures move into your library
  • Notes come along

Markdown outlines

Every heading becomes a slide, list items become points and quotes become quote slides. SlidesBat picks fitting layouts such as agenda, process, timeline and key numbers.

  • No AI credits needed
  • Choose the theme later
  • Great for notes you already have

Or let AI convert it

For a full redesign, use Create with AI and upload the PowerPoint, Word, PDF or Markdown file as the source.

  • Keeps your facts
  • Fresh layouts
  • Editable outline first
