Markdown to Slides

Convert Markdown to presentation slides. Use --- separators to create slides with live slideshow preview.

About This Tool

The Markdown to Slides converter is a free browser-based tool that transforms Markdown text into a fully navigable slide presentation. Simply write your content in Markdown, separate slides with ---, and see a live preview of your presentation instantly.

All processing happens entirely in your browser. Your presentation content never leaves your machine — there are no server round-trips, no logging, and no third-party services involved. This makes it safe for internal company presentations, confidential pitches, and any sensitive content.

The tool supports essential Markdown features including headings (use # for slide titles and ## for subtitles), bold and italic text, ordered and unordered lists, code blocks with syntax formatting, links, and images. The slide preview renders in real time as you type, with a 16:9 aspect ratio that matches standard presentation formats.

Choose from four built-in themes to match your presentation style, navigate slides with keyboard arrows or clickable thumbnails, and enter fullscreen mode for actual presentations. When you are ready to share, export your slides as a standalone HTML file that works in any browser without an internet connection.

FAQ

How do I separate slides?

Use three hyphens (---) on their own line to separate slides. Each section between separators becomes an individual slide in the presentation.

Is my presentation data safe?

Yes. All Markdown parsing and slide rendering happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No data is sent to any server, making it safe for confidential presentations.

Can I use images in my slides?

Yes. Use standard Markdown image syntax: ![alt text](image-url). The image URL must be publicly accessible or a data URI. Images are displayed centered on the slide.

How does fullscreen presentation mode work?

Click the Fullscreen button or press F11 to enter fullscreen mode. Use arrow keys or the navigation buttons to move between slides. Press Escape to exit fullscreen.

What themes are available?

Four themes are available: Dark (white text on dark background), Light (dark text on white background), Blue (white text on blue gradient), and Green (white text on green gradient). Dark is the default.

Can I export my presentation?

Yes. Click the Export HTML button to download a standalone HTML file that includes all CSS and JavaScript. You can open it in any browser without an internet connection.

What Markdown features are supported?

Headings (h1-h3), bold, italic, unordered and ordered lists, inline code, code blocks, links, images, and paragraph breaks are all supported. Use # for slide titles and ## for subtitles.
