About PPTX and RTF

PPTX (Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation (Office Open XML)) is PowerPoint's modern XML-based format, supporting animations, transitions, and embedded media.

RTF (Rich Text Format) is a portable text format readable by virtually every word processor, supporting basic formatting like bold, fonts, and colors, but not macros or advanced layout.

What to expect: RTF doesn't support everything PPTX does, so expect formatting like fonts, styles, or embedded objects to be dropped in the conversion.
