Handles everything involving .pptx files: reading and extracting text, editing existing presentations, and building new ones from scratch or templates. Covers slides, layouts, speaker notes, and visual design.
Combines text extraction, XML-level editing, and from-scratch generation in one workflow, so you don't need to switch between tools or manually reformat slides after every change.
When to use it
- Extracting all text from a client deck to feed into a summary email
- Converting a data report into a slide presentation with charts and callouts
- Editing an existing template deck with new content without breaking the layout
- Building a pitch deck from scratch with a custom color palette and font pairing
- Splitting a large presentation into separate files by section
