Three steps to your slide deck
Turn a Markdown file into an editable slide deck without writing a single CSS rule.
Upload Markdown
Drag and drop your .md file or click to browse. Headings become slides and lists become bullets, so SlideSpeak keeps your structure intact.
AI Structures Slides
Our AI reads your Markdown, picks the right layouts for each section, and turns headings, lists, and code blocks into polished slides.
Download Presentation
Export as PowerPoint, Google Slides, or PDF in seconds. Edit further in SlideSpeak or any compatible app.
Built for clean structure, speed & flexibility
SlideSpeak maps every heading, list, and code block to a slide layout, keeping your Markdown structure intact while adding AI-picked design on top.
Markdown structure preserved
Headings (#, ##, ###) map to slide titles and sections, while lists become bullets and code blocks stay monospaced. Blockquotes turn into callouts. Everything you authored shows up in the deck.

AI picks the layout for you
Our AI reads each section and chooses a layout: title slide, two-column, image, list, or summary. No template wrangling. No manual placement.

FREE & no sign-up required
Our Markdown-to-presentation converter is 100% free. Upload your file and download the deck. No account, no daily limits, no watermarks.

Safe and secure processing
We encrypt your .md files in transit and delete them from our servers after processing. No training, no sharing, no logging of contents.
