PPS to Text Document (TXT) conversion is the process of extracting the textual content from a Microsoft PowerPoint Slide Show (.pps or .ppsx) and saving it as a plain text (.txt) file. This conversion strips out slide layout, images, animations, and formatting to produce a simple, platform‑independent text file suitable for notes, searching, or downstream text processing.

PPS files use the MIME type application/vnd.ms-powerpoint and are commonly created by Microsoft PowerPoint for slide presentations. TXT files have the MIME type text/plain and store unformatted text data. Converting PPS to TXT strips all media and formatting, providing raw textual content suitable for various text processing applications.

Easily convert your PPS files to TXT format using our online PPS to TXT converter. Whether you need to extract text from presentations or simplify your documents, our tool delivers quick and accurate results without any software installation.
PPS files are typically presentation files that contain slides with multimedia content, while TXT files are plain text documents without formatting or media. Unlike PPS, TXT files are lightweight and easy to edit in any text editor, making them ideal for extracting and repurposing content.
Keep individual PPS files under 250 MB for free, and under 1 GB for premium/batch processing to avoid upload timeouts.
To preserve meaningful context, enable "include speaker notes" or "include slide titles" rather than extracting all visible text only.
For best results, remove embedded objects (videos, large images) or convert PPTX to PPSX first; images and animations will not transfer to TXT.
Use batch conversion when dealing with many presentations, but limit batches to 50 files or fewer to avoid memory/time limits.
