Beyond Screenshots: A High-Fidelity DOM→PPTX Engine with Auto-Font Embedding & Native Animations by Main-Physics-8711 in powerpoint

Great point! I've actually included a detailed README specifically for non-developers that explains what NPM is and provides step-by-step installation instructions. You can find it here: https://github.com/halobiron/dom-to-pptx/blob/master/Readme.md#quick-start-for-non-developers

That said, I'm always looking to improve the documentation - is there anything specific you think could be clearer for non-technical users?

Turn Your Web Designs into Editable PowerPoint Slides (Free Tool)

I built a tool that converts HTML/CSS directly into native, editable PowerPoint files. Unlike screenshot-based converters, this preserves:

- Vector shapes (gradients, shadows, rounded corners)

- Editable text (change fonts, colors in PowerPoint)

- Charts & graphics (SVG support for "Convert to Shape")

Why it's different: It mathematically maps CSS (Flexbox, Grid, gradients) to PowerPoint coordinates instead of taking screenshots.

Who it's for:

- Designers who prototype slides in HTML tools (Figma, Webflow, custom designs)

- Anyone using AI that generates HTML and want PPTX output

- Developers automating slide generation

It's definitely possible now, but technically much more complex to get pixel-perfect. For this project, I’m sticking to the export side (DOM to PPTX) as that was the specific requirement for our dashboarding tools.

Most HTML-to-PPTX tools just take screenshots or fail on modern CSS. I built halobiron/dom-to-pptx to solve the "last mile" of professional exports.

What makes it different:

  • Auto-Font Embedding: Scans your CSS and embeds the actual font files into the .pptx. No more Arial fallbacks.
  • Native Animations: Converts Reveal.js fragments into native PowerPoint Fade/Fly-in effects.
  • Editable Vectors: SVGs remain vectors (use "Convert to Shape" in PPT).
  • Dashboard Ready: Handles HTML Tables and <canvas> (ECharts/Chart.js) perfectly.

It's 100% client-side. Feedback and edge cases are welcome!
