About PPTX and TXT

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

TXT (Plain Text) is unformatted text with no styling, fonts, or embedded objects — the most universally compatible format there is.

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