Presentation to Notes

No account or paid AI credits. PPTX extraction runs without network access in compatible browsers.

01

Import presentation

PPTX, text-based PDF, Markdown, or a project

Organize notes

Use all slides or specify a range.
Note generation is source-based and deterministic; no text is sent to a server.
03

Slide evidence

Inspect text before relying on generated notes

Load a presentation to browse its slides.

Optional AI summary

Improve a selected slide summary with a free on-device language model

Only a bounded excerpt of the selected slide text is used. Open AI model setup to explicitly download and load the optional model. Browser support and speed vary. English only. Review the suggestion before inserting it.

Export study pack

Save and revise later, with no account required

Source evidence exports selected slide text and extraction warnings. Flashcards are built from explicitly extracted definitions, with a fallback review prompt. PDF uses your browser's Print dialog.
HOW IT WORKS

From presentation to revision material

01

Read slide content

Extract PowerPoint text boxes, tables, slide order and speaker notes. PDF extraction works for pages with a selectable text layer.

02

Build study notes

Organize facts into slide summaries, definitions, key terms, revision checklists and review questions without inventing facts.

03

Check, edit, export

Compare every section with the slide source, refine the Markdown, make flashcards, or save a reusable JSON project.

What about scanned slides, diagrams, photos and charts?

Image-only content does not contain selectable text. This tool does not pretend to understand charts or diagrams. For scanned PDFs, use PixelOkay OCR PDF Studio first, then import its searchable result here. Complex charts and mathematical layouts still need manual review.

Is AI required, and are my slides uploaded?

No. The standard note builder runs locally without AI. Optional AI summarization runs in a browser worker after downloading open-source model files. PPTX data and notes are not sent to a PixelOkay server; the model library contacts its hosting CDN for code and model downloads.

Can I import an old PPT or Keynote file?

Export it as a PPTX or text-based PDF first. Binary .ppt, .key, encrypted presentations, ZIP64 archives and external linked resources are not supported.

LOCAL AI SETUP

Set up AI on this device

First, a model needs to be loaded on your device

AI Presentation to Notes uses a free English DistilBART text-summarization model through Transformers.js. After explicit consent, model and runtime files download from public hosts. Only text from the selected slide is processed in your browser; your presentation is not sent to an inference server.

  1. 1. Check device
  2. 2. Download / cache
  3. 3. Initialize summarizer
  4. 4. Review AI draft
DistilBART produces an optional English summary of one slide, not an entire presentation. Use deterministic notes without AI anytime.

Device & model resources

Measurements may be approximate
Device RAM / model memoryChecking device information…

Exact RAM and GPU memory are not available. DistilBART runs with WebAssembly in a background worker; live memory usage is unavailable.

Browser website storageChecking storage…

Site-wide estimate; includes other PixelOkay tools and is not RAM.

ONE ACTION · ALL RECOGNIZED AI MODEL DOWNLOADS

Free AI model storage across PixelOkay

Scan this exact website origin for recognized WebLLM, Transformers.js DistilBART, and other safely identifiable model caches (including those from other PixelOkay tools on this exact origin). This does not clear general website data or browser databases.

Cache status has not been checked yet.

Run a scan to see how many model caches can be cleared together.

Browser-native models and unknown IndexedDB/OPFS or private runtime caches may remain. Unknown application/user storage will not be deleted. Other running tools might redownload caches; close their tabs first.

Having trouble downloading or loading AI?

If loading fails, retry, check your network or inspect model caches. When worker/WASM is unavailable, use Generate structured notes without AI.

Only model caches are targeted. Other PixelOkay tools may need to redownload their models. Never clear all website data without exporting important chats and projects first.

Select Check compatibility to inspect whether WebAssembly and workers are available.
Technical details and diagnostics

Summarization runtime: Transformers.js 3.8.1 · Xenova/distilbart-cnn-6-6 · WASM q8. Only selected slide excerpts (maximum 2,600 characters) are passed to the worker.
CROSS-TOOL MODEL CACHE CLEANUP

Delete recognized AI model downloads?

Only independently recognizable model caches are targeted. Other PixelOkay tools may need to redownload models. Saved notes, source slides, files, and browser databases are not selected, but unknown stores are not inspected or removed.

Close other AI tabs before proceeding. Browser-managed, IndexedDB, and OPFS model files may remain.

Using AI Presentation to Notes

Load supported slides or text, review extracted coverage and choose the note scope/template. Edit the result and check source evidence. Optional AI drafts are separate suggestions; export both study notes and source evidence when completeness matters.

Standard summaries condense source rather than reproducing every fact. PDF requires text layers; scanned pages need OCR elsewhere. No chart/image/math understanding, binary PPT/Keynote or encrypted PPTX support is supplied. Optional AI processes only the documented initial slide-text portion and downloads a large model. Resource/extraction limits apply. Projects/notes can contain private source text; no automatic persistence is added.

Turn supported slides into editable, source-referenced study notes

Import a supported PPTX, searchable PDF or text file, review extraction coverage, choose a note scope and template, then edit the notes or flashcards. Optional AI summary drafts are separate suggestions; verify them against source evidence and insert only the text you approve.

Example workflow

  1. Load a small deck with readable slide text and check which slides, notes and tables were extracted.
  2. Choose a note scope, generate a standard outline or optional summary draft, and compare each key statement with the source evidence.
  3. Correct and export notes, flashcards or evidence, and retain the original deck for figures and formatting not represented in the text extraction.

Authored example: From a short project-update deck, make a Quick review sheet and one flashcard from a slide with a date and milestone. Check both against the extracted slide text before using them to study or share.

Limits and model handling: PPTX extraction reads supported text, tables and notes; PDF.js downloads for searchable-text PDF imports. Optional English summarization downloads a model and drafts only over the documented initial slide-text portion. It does not understand charts, images or math, and it does not OCR scanned PDFs. Notes condense rather than reproduce every fact; password/encrypted presentations and resource limits can block import. Projects and notes may contain private source text.

AI Presentation to Notes questions

Does the summary cover every slide element?

No. It uses only supported extracted text in the documented portion. It does not understand charts, images or math; compare notes with the original deck.

Can it import a scanned PDF and recognize text automatically?

No. PDF imports need a searchable text layer. Use a separate OCR workflow for scanned pages before importing.
