PPT Master: turn any PDF into an editable PowerPoint

The free, open-source tool from the reel. Give your AI tool a PDF, Word doc or topic and it builds a real .pptx: native text boxes, shapes, data-backed charts and your own template, generated on your computer.

CostFree and open source (MIT). You only pay for the AI model you use.

DoesPDF, Word, web pages or a topic into a natively editable PowerPoint. Can also use your own .pptx template.

NeedsPython 3.10+ and an AI tool that can read and write files (the author recommends Claude Code).

What you need first

1Python 3.10 or newerFree from python.org. On Windows, tick "Add to PATH" during the install. On a Mac: brew install python.

2An AI tool with file accessClaude Code (the author's pick), Cursor, Codex CLI, VS Code with Copilot or similar. You only use its chat window, no coding.

3A strong modelThe model sets the ceiling. The README recommends Claude or Kimi K3 with a large context window. Cheaper models work, with more polishing left for you.

Step by step

Download the repo

On the GitHub page click Code → Download ZIP and unzip it (or git clone https://github.com/hugohe3/ppt-master.git if you use Git).

Run the one install line

Open a terminal in that folder and run pip install -r requirements.txt.

Open the folder in your AI tool

In Claude Code: cd ppt-master then claude. In an editor like Cursor or VS Code: File → Open Folder and use the chat panel.

Drop in your file

Put your PDF or Word doc inside the projects/ folder.

Ask for the deck

Type something like Please create a PPT from projects/my-report.pdf. It confirms a design spec first (template, format, number of pages), then builds the deck. The .pptx lands in the exports/ folder. Open it in PowerPoint and edit anything.

Tip: Want charts you can edit with Edit Data in PowerPoint? The README explains the native charts option in the Create section.

The catch

The tool is free, the AI isn't. Every deck uses your AI model's tokens, so a big PDF on a top model costs more.
Don't expect a perfect deck in one shot. The creator says so himself: it takes most of the tedious work away, the final polish is yours.
There's a bit of setup. Python plus an AI tool. Windows has a few extra steps, the repo has a dedicated Windows guide.
You don't need the sponsored API services listed at the top of the README. Your own Claude (or other) plan works.
