How to Convert PowerPoint Presentations to HTML: A Step-by-Step Guide

Converting a PowerPoint presentation to HTML format can seem daunting, but it’s a straightforward process. Essentially, you’ll be saving the PowerPoint file as a web page, which creates an HTML version of the presentation. This can be done directly from PowerPoint itself, and once complete, you’ll have an HTML file that can be viewed in web browsers.

After you’ve converted your PowerPoint presentation to HTML, you can share it more easily across various platforms. It’ll be accessible to anyone with a web browser, without the need for PowerPoint software.

Introduction

Have you ever created a brilliant PowerPoint presentation and wished you could share it on the web for a wider audience? Well, converting your PowerPoint to an HTML format is the perfect solution! HTML, which stands for HyperText Markup Language, is the standard markup language for documents designed to be displayed in a web browser. By converting your PowerPoint to HTML, you open up a world of possibilities for sharing your content online.

This process is especially relevant for educators, marketers, and businesses looking to distribute their presentations more broadly. It allows for easy sharing on websites, email, and social media platforms. Plus, it ensures that your audience doesn’t need to have PowerPoint installed on their devices to view the presentation. So, let’s dive into how you can turn your PowerPoint slides into a web-friendly format!

Step by Step Tutorial on How to Convert PowerPoint Presentations to an HTML Format

The following steps will guide you through converting a PowerPoint presentation into an HTML format using Microsoft PowerPoint.

Step 1: Open your PowerPoint presentation

Open the PowerPoint presentation that you want to convert to HTML format.

In this step, you’ll need to have your presentation fully prepared and ready for conversion. Ensure all animations, transitions, and multimedia elements are properly set up, as they will be included in the conversion process.

Step 2: Click ‘File’ and select ‘Save As’

Navigate to the ‘File’ tab on the ribbon and select ‘Save As’ from the dropdown menu.

When saving your presentation, you have several format options. For converting to HTML, you’ll need to find the appropriate web format in the upcoming steps.

Step 3: Choose the location to save the file

Decide where on your computer or network you would like to save the HTML version of your presentation.

Consider creating a new folder specifically for web files if you’re planning to upload the HTML presentation to a server. This helps keep your files organized and easily accessible.

Step 4: In the ‘Save as type’ dropdown, select ‘Web Page’

From the ‘Save as type’ dropdown menu, select ‘Web Page’ or a similar option depending on your version of PowerPoint.

This step is crucial as selecting the ‘Web Page’ format is what converts your presentation into HTML. There may be different naming for this option based on the PowerPoint version you’re using, such as ‘Web Page (.htm;.html)’.

Step 5: Click ‘Save’

After selecting the ‘Web Page’ option, click ‘Save’ to convert and save your PowerPoint presentation as an HTML file.

Once you’ve clicked ‘Save’, PowerPoint will create an HTML file and a folder containing all the necessary components for your presentation to display properly in web browsers.

Additional Information

When converting PowerPoint presentations to an HTML format, it’s crucial to consider the compatibility of your presentation across different web browsers. While most modern browsers will display HTML consistently, older versions may have trouble with certain features or animations. Additionally, remember that the HTML version of your presentation will include a folder with supporting files like images and animations. Keep this folder in the same location as your HTML file to ensure the presentation displays correctly.

Another tip is to check your presentation for any proprietary or confidential information before converting it. Once in HTML format, your presentation becomes much easier to distribute, and you’ll want to make sure it’s ready for a wider audience. If you’re using a company or school template, ensure you have the rights to share it online.

Finally, consider the SEO benefits of converting your presentation. With proper use of keywords and descriptions, your HTML presentation can be indexed by search engines, making it easier for people to find your content online.

• Open your PowerPoint presentation.
• Click ‘File’ and select ‘Save As’.
• Choose the location to save the file.
• In the ‘Save as type’ dropdown, select ‘Web Page’.
• Click ‘Save’.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my animations and transitions still work after converting to html.

Yes, most animations and transitions will be preserved in the HTML format, though some complex effects might not translate perfectly.

Can I edit my presentation once it’s in HTML format?

Editing the content of an HTML file is possible but can be more complex than editing in PowerPoint. It’s recommended to make any necessary changes in PowerPoint before converting.

How can I share my HTML presentation?

You can share the HTML file and accompanying folder via email, or you can upload it to a web server to be accessed via a link.

Will the HTML file be the exact replica of my PowerPoint presentation?

While the goal is to preserve as much of the original presentation as possible, there may be slight differences due to the limitations of HTML.

Can I convert my HTML presentation back to PowerPoint?

It’s not recommended as the conversion from HTML back to PowerPoint may not preserve the original formatting and interactivity.

Converting PowerPoint presentations to an HTML format is a powerful way to expand your audience and ensure your work is accessible to anyone with internet access. Although there are some considerations to keep in mind, like potential feature loss and file size, the benefits often outweigh the drawbacks.

As we’ve explored, the process is relatively simple and can be done directly from PowerPoint. It’s an excellent skill for anyone looking to share their ideas and presentations online more effectively. So, why not give it a try, and see how your PowerPoint presentations can shine on the web?

How to publish a PowerPoint presentation to the Web

Your email has been sent

PowerPoint can create an impressive Web site, if all conditions are just right. First, you create the presentation in PowerPoint on a local system. Then, you save the presentation to HTML format. Finally, you upload the HTML files to a Web server. But even though it seems easy, the road to Web success is riddled with potholes. That’s because a PowerPoint Web presentation works best in Internet Explorer (IE). If you can guarantee viewers will be using a recent version of IE, you’re in luck.

Note: This article is also available as a PDF download .

The basics of publishing to the Web

Publishing a presentation to the Web begins with converting the presentation to HTML as follows:

• With the presentation open in PowerPoint, choose Save As Web Page from the File menu.
• Using the Save In control in the resulting Save As dialog box, browse to the folder where you want to save your presentation. (If you can connect directly to the server, you can save the files to the server, which is considerably easier. But for most of us, that’s seldom an option.)
• Change the filename, if you want.
• From the Save As Type drop-down list, choose Single File Web Page or Standard Web Page. If you save your presentation as a standard Web page, PowerPoint will generate an HTML file and a folder that contains a number of additional files that the presentation needs. Saving your file as a single file Web page creates one file that contains everything. Don’t choose Single File Web Page unless you know what you’re doing.
• If you want to change the page title, click the Change Title button and update the text accordingly. This is what will appear in the browser’s title bar.
• Click Save.

The above process is easy, but often you’ll require a bit more flexibility to customize the resulting Web page(s). When this is the case, click the Publish button (in the Save As dialog box from step 1 above). The resulting Publish As Web Page, shown in Figure A , offers a number of options:

• Publish What?: Use these settings to specify exactly what goes to the Web. You can include all or a subset of slides. In addition, you can include your speaker notes. See Table A to view the many options available by clicking the Web Options button.
• Browser Support: Supporting older versions of Internet Explorer (IE) requires a larger file. There’s nothing wrong with forcing users to upgrade to see your presentation. The All Browsers Listed Above option will create a large file that’s slower to download. However, this option lets viewers see the presentation regardless of their IE version.
• Before publishing, you can also change the page title and the filename.

Use the Publish As Web Page options to customize your Web files.

Transferring your web page to a web server.

If you have access to a Web server, you can save the presentation directly to it. However, most of us have to save the files to a local system and then move those files to a Web server. This process will be unique and specific to your ISP or your company’s intranet. Either way, you must contact the ISP or your network administrator for specific instructions. If you didn’t save the presentation as a single file, be sure you transfer all of the supporting files during this process.

You must create the same folder structure on the Web server and transfer the files exactly as they are on your local system. If you don’t, the slide show won’t work properly. This problem accounts for almost all missing graphics and broken links. All files must be in the same folder or subfolder and all files must retain the same names. Change nothing about the structure when transferring these files.

You can test the new Web page at just about any time. You don’t even have to save your presentation to view it as a Web page. For a quick preview, select Web Page Preview from PowerPoint’s File menu. PowerPoint will open the presentation, slide by slide, in your default browser. When you’re done, simply close your browser. After you publish the Web page, test the results thoroughly:

• Check for missing pages and graphics. If anything’s missing, you probably didn’t transfer all the supporting files properly.
• Test all links using a computer other than the one you used to save the presentation to a Web page. That way, if something’s linking to your computer, you’ll find the mistake. In addition, remember that links break quickly and often. Check them frequently.
• View your Web site in as many different browsers as you can.
• View your Web site using every possible resolution setting.
• View your Web site using both a Windows PC and a Mac, if possible.
• View your Web site using an operating system other than Windows, if possible.
• Test your Web site using different connections. You might want to change or even eliminate elements that slow things down.

If you’re publishing your presentation to a controlled environment where you know the operating system, browser, and resolution, you don’t have to be as thorough.

The devil’s in the details

Publishing a PowerPoint presentation to the Web seems easy enough, but you’ll seldom get what you expect. There are a number of limitations:

• Use the most recent version of IE possible. If you must support older versions of IE, consider creating additional versions of your presentation for older browsers. It’s difficult to get anything but the most basic presentation to run well on all versions of IE.
• Only IE supports the single file format. Don’t use it unless you know viewers will always be using IE.
• Don’t expect to get it right the first time. Start with the default settings, unless you know up front that a default isn’t adequate. Then, rework the presentation as needed.

PowerPoint to the Web

Although PowerPoint can transfer a presentation to the Web, the results can be disappointing. The biggest issue is the viewer’s environment. When you are sure viewers will use IE, PowerPoint Web pages are stable and effective. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to support a PowerPoint Web presentation in any browser other than IE. Public viewers may be very dissatisfied with what they see, regardless of how you hard you try to accommodate other browsers.

How to Publish a PowerPoint Presentation to the Web

Publishing a PowerPoint presentation online allows you to easily share your slides with a wider audience. Whether you want to display your presentation on a website, embed it in a blog post, or simply let viewers access it with a link, putting your PowerPoint on the web is straightforward. This guide covers several methods to publish your presentation online.

Save and Upload the Presentation File

The simplest way to publish your PowerPoint online is to save the presentation file and upload it to a file hosting service:

• Finish editing your presentation and save the final .PPTX file to your computer.
• Sign up for a file hosting service like Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, or Dropbox. These services give you free cloud storage space to upload files.
• Upload the PowerPoint file to the cloud storage service. Make sure the file is set to public or viewable by anyone with the link.
• Share the file link with anyone you want to be able to view the presentation.

The main downside of this method is that viewers have to manually download the file to their device instead of viewing it directly in their browser.

Convert to HTML

To allow viewers to see your presentation directly in their browser without downloading it, you can convert the file to HTML format:

• In PowerPoint on your computer, go to File > Export > Create HTML File .
• Choose a save location on your device or cloud storage.
• In the PowerPoint export settings, pick Web Page under Publish As and adjust any other options.
• Click Publish to convert the file and create associated HTML, CSS, JS, and image files.
• Upload the HTML files and related assets to web hosting or cloud storage.
• Share the link to the primary HTML file with your audience.

Converting to HTML preserves slide animations, transitions, and basic formatting. However, some more complex elements may not display correctly across all browsers.

Embed in a Web Page

Embedding your presentation in an existing web page or blog provides the most customization options:

• Upload your PowerPoint file to OneDrive or another cloud storage service that provides embed codes.
• Copy the sharing link or embed code provided.
• Paste the embed code on your web page where you want the presentation to display.
• Customize the height, width, and other parameters as needed.
• As you update the cloud-hosted presentation file, the embedded version auto-updates.

With this method, you can seamlessly integrate your presentation into any website without viewers needing to open another tab or download anything extra.

Use a Presentation Sharing Service

Specialized presentation and document sharing platforms like SlideShare, Scribd, and Issuu are designed for easily publishing and distributing files online:

• Upload your PowerPoint to one of these services to get a shareable link and embed code.
• Customize the privacy settings if you only want certain people to access it.
• Embed the presentation into any website using the provided iframe code.
• View presentation analytics on how many people accessed your slides and what they viewed.

The benefit of these services is that they optimize presentations specifically for web viewing. However, the free accounts often have limits on private presentations, number of views, and analytics.

Best Practices for Web Publishing

To ensure your PowerPoint looks professional and displays properly when viewed online, keep these tips in mind:

• Use high quality images and multimedia at their optimal resolutions to prevent pixelation or blurriness.
• Limit animations and slide transitions since they may not display smoothly in all browsers.
• Simplify the slide templates and formatting with easy-to-read fonts, minimal text, and sufficient white space.
• Check compatibility on multiple devices and browsers , especially on mobile screens.
• Provide links to download the original PowerPoint file in case someone wants to view it directly in the desktop application.

Whether you want to share a presentation with colleagues or display it as part of a website, putting your PowerPoint slides on the web is easy with the right tools. Convert the file to HTML, embed it online, or use a dedicated presentation sharing platform to expand your reach and give more viewers access. Following web publishing best practices will take your slides from the conference room to any device.

Why Use HTML Format?

HTML, or HyperText Markup Language, is the language that empowers web browsers to present content in an organized and structured manner. Through a series of tags, HTML defines the purpose of different elements on your page – from headings and paragraphs to images and links. This structured approach ensures a visually pleasing layout and enables seamless navigation.

HTML fuels the interactivity that makes the web so captivating. Those clickable links guide you to new pages, beautiful images, and engaging videos – they all owe their existence to HTML.

HTML ensures your presentation retains its structure, visuals, and interactivity when shared on the web. It's the key to bridging the gap between PowerPoint and online accessibility, making your content universally available and engaging for a diverse audience.

Save a copy of your presentation with PowerPoint for the web

PowerPoint for the web automatically saves your work to OneDrive, in the cloud.

(This kind of operation in Microsoft 365 is often called Save As , but in Microsoft 365 for the web apps it is Save a Copy or Download As .)

To save to another location (such as your computer or a USB thumb drive), or to save a copy, click a procedure heading below and follow the steps.

 Select a heading below to open it and see the detailed instructions.

Save a copy of a presentation to your computer

On the File tab of the Ribbon, select Download As , and then, on the panel of options that appears on the right, select Download a Copy .

A dialog box confirms that the copy is ready to be downloaded to your computer. Select Download to continue.

By default, the file is copied to the Downloads folder on your PC:

Your browser helps you complete the download of the file to your computer. How that looks, exactly, depends on which browser you're using. Read on to see how it works for several major browsers:

Chrome: Finish the download

Google Chrome displays the file name at the bottom left corner of the PowerPoint for the web task bar.

To open the downloaded file, select the arrow to the right of the file name, and then select Open .

Internet Explorer: Finish the download

If Internet Explorer asks you what you want to do with the file, click Save as .

In the Save As box, pick where you want to save your presentation.

In the File name box, give your file a name (if you haven’t already), and then click Save .

To open your downloaded file, go to the file folder where you saved it.

Microsoft Edge: Finish the download

At the bottom margin of the browser, Microsoft Edge shows a message that allows you to Open the presentation or to Save it in a location other than the default Downloads folder.

To accept the default location, select Save . To save elsewhere, click the arrow next to Save and then select Save As and choose a folder in the navigation dialog box.

Firefox: Finish the download

Under What should Firefox do with this file? , click Save File , and then click OK .

To open the downloaded file, click the down-arrow on the Firefox task bar, and then click the file, or click the folder icon to open the containing folder.

Save a copy of a presentation to OneDrive for work or school or SharePoint

This feature is only available to folks who have an Microsoft 365 work or school account.

(This feature isn't available if you're using Internet Explorer version 7.)

On the File tab of the Ribbon, select Save a Copy .

On the Save a Copy panel that opens, select Save a Copy .

The Save a Copy dialog box opens.

The default "save" location is the current folder where the original presentation is stored. If you accept that location, you must change the name specified in the Name box.

If you want to store the file in a different location, a name change isn't necessary. Select Save to another folder to change the folder where the file will be stored.

In the folder navigation dialog box, locate the folder you want, and then click Save .

The new copy of the presentation is now stored in that folder.

How to save your powerpoint presentation as a web page.

Saving your Microsoft PowerPoint presentation as a web page allows you to then post it to the web. PowerPoint is able to retain the presentation's integrity so that viewers on the web are able to see it as though the presentation was being run as normal. The advantage of publishing your presentation to the web like this is that you always have it available to you - provided that you have internet access, of course. The bad news is that PowerPoint 2010 does not have that functionality - boo! However, in Microsoft Office 2010, there is a web versions of PowerPoint, so that may be the reason this functionality has been removed.

Nevertheless, if you have a version of PowerPoint between 2000 and 2007 inclusive, you will be able to save your presentation as a web page.

To save a PowerPoint presentation as a web page, click File > Save As A Web Page. When the Save As dialogue box appears, use the Save In box to navigate to the location of your web server. Don't forget to name your presentation and then click Publish.

The Publish as a Web Page dialog box will appear. Here, you need to make selections to customise how your presentation will be displayed. Under Publish What, select Complete presentation if you want to publish all slides or choose a selection of slides you want to publish. Leave the check next to Display speaker notes if you want them to be available.

In the Browser Support section, select the following:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later ( high fidelity) if you want your presentation to be viewed only in Internet Explorer. This takes full advantage of the presentation and allows you to view in full screen. If you know your audience will be using Internet Explorer then this is the best choice to make. It will, however, work in the Latest version of Netscape. You just can’t do the full screen.) This method of saving usually (or used to!) looks the best.
• Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape 3.0 or later. If some of your audience will be using Netscape (older versions than the newest one), then you should make this your choice.
• All browsers listed above. This will create larger files but if your audience is using IE or Netscape and file size is not an issue then you can choose this type.

In the File name box, type in the path to where you want to save (on your web server) or click on the Browse button to browse to it.

Click the Web Options button and then click on the drop down next to the Colours box and choose the colours you want for the text and background of the outline. Here the default options are usually sufficient, but modify them to suit your needs. Click OK and then click Publish.

This creates two files. If you called your show "ImprovingEfficiency" then after saving the file you will have created a folder called ImprovingEfficiency_files and a .htm file called ImprovingEfficiency.htm. If you are using FrontPage you can import these files into your web site. Create a link to the ImprovingEfficiency.htm file. When your visitors click on this link it will open up the PowerPoint show.

The show should open up in a browser to preview it.

Saving a Presentation As a Web Page

Single Web page This is PowerPoint's default format for saving a presentation as a Web page, using the MHTML coding format. This simply means that the entire presentation is encoded into a single file on your computer. Such files are self-contained, thus making it easier to send them by email or to move or retrieve them from a network. You also can open and edit these single Web page versions directly in PowerPoint. If you make such pages available on a Web server, persons viewing the file must also have PowerPoint installed on their computers.

Web page This is the traditional HTML format, which can be opened directly into PowerPoint. The main difference is that with this format, you create a basic Web page along with a folder that contains all the additional files needed to make the page viewable in traditional Web browsers.

PowerPoint show The .PPS format can be served from a Web server, and it goes directly into play mode when accessed. However, viewers must have PowerPoint installed on their computers for this format to begin playing. Such files also can be downloaded and opened in PowerPoint for editing.

PNG graphics format This is one of several graphics formats you can use to create static images of slides. Other formats include GIF, JPG, TIF, BMP, and WMF. You view such files in whatever graphics program you use, or you can insert these images into regular Web pages, using a Web page editor such as FrontPage.

PowerPoint presentation If you open a Web page version of a slide show, such as HTML or MHTML, you can save the page back into a native PowerPoint format by choosing Presentation (*.ppt).

How to add live web pages to a powerpoint presentation.

Have you ever wanted to demonstrate a live website during a PowerPoint presentation? Here's how you can insert a live webpage into a PowerPoint prese

Have you ever wanted to demonstrate a live website during a PowerPoint presentation?  Here's how you can insert a live webpage into a PowerPoint presentation so you can show the exact content you're talking about.

No matter what you're giving a presentation about, sometimes it can be useful to show your audience information from the internet.  You could always create a screenshot of the webpage you're demonstrating, but chances are the screenshot may be out of date by the time you give your presentation.

A better solution is to use live information from the web in your presentation.  By default, PowerPoint doesn't support inserting a live web page, but you can easily do this with the LiveWeb add-in.

Head to the LiveWeb website (link below), and download the correct version for your version of PowerPoint.  We selected the 2007/2010 version in this test.

Once it's downloaded, extract the files as normal.

Now, in PowerPoint, open the Options window.  In PowerPoint 2010, you can do this by clicking the File button and selecting Options; in PowerPoint 2007, click the Office orb and select Options.

Select Add-Ins on the left side, then select PowerPoint Add-ins from the Manage menu, and click Go.

This will open the PowerPoint Add-ins window.  Click Add New to add the LiveWeb addin we downloaded previously.

Browse to the folder where you extracted the LiveWeb addin, and select it.

PowerPoint may warn you that the addon contains a macro.  Click Enable Macros to continue.

Now you should see LiveWeb listed in the Add-Ins window, and you're ready to add a live webpage to your PowerPoint presentation.

Using LiveWeb in PowerPoint

Now that LiveWeb is installed, you're ready to insert live internet data in your presentations.  From the Insert tab, select Web Page from the LiveWeb section.

This will open a quick Wizard interface that will help you insert a webpage into your presentation.

Enter the website you'd like to visit in the first line, then click the Add button.  Make sure to include http:// in front of the website address.  Once you've added the website you wish to visit, click Next.

LiveWeb will automatically refresh the web page, but if you want you can uncheck the box.  Click Next to continue.

Now choose how much of the slide you want the webpage to cover, and select where you want to position the page.  You can always change this later if you like.

Once it's finished, click Finish to return back to PowerPoint.

LiveWeb will let you know it successfully added the web page to your slide.

You'll now see a Windows 98-style logo in your slide, showing where your live webpage will be located.

Feel free to resize or move the webpage section in your slide however you want.

To view the actual web content, you'll need to start a slideshow.  Click the slideshow button at the bottom of the window to switch quickly.

Now you'll see a live webpage loaded right inside your PowerPoint presentation.  You can markup the slide as you would any other with PowerPoint tools, or you can interact with the website just as you would in a browser.

If you need to change your webpage, click the Edit Page Property button on the Insert tab.

Enter the new website address you want, and finish as before.

You can also add multiple web pages to a presentation if you'd like.  You could even make a webpage comparison like we did with screenshots in our first slide.  Only difference here is, the web pages are both live, and you could demonstrate how to use them to your audience.

When you save your presentation, you'll need to save it as a Macro-enabled presentation in .pptm format to preserve the web data.  Note that you'll be able to view the presentation on another computer only if it has the LiveWeb addon installed.  Since it's a free addon, you could keep a copy of it on your flash drive so you could easily install it if you need to show your presentation on another computer.

Whether you're trying to teach a class about computer usage or demonstrate your new website for your company's board members, the LiveWeb addin makes it easy to incorporate live web pages in your presentations.  There are many ways you could use this, so let us know how you use live web pages in your presentations to make information come alive!

If you'd like to use live web data in other Office applications, here's how you can Use Online Data in Excel 2010 Spreadsheets .

How to convert Web pages into Power Point Presentations?

There are several situations where we need to convert web pages into Power Point presentations. The web pages are

usually done with XHTML and one way to convert them to slides is to cut and paste the content and images. However,

is there an elegant way to convert the web pages into ppts?  Sometimes,  web  elements such as buttons, checkboxes, background,

 etc  need to be retained for various reasons. Also, the power point slideshow to some extent cannot perform

functionalities of internet browsers such as submitting information to the server, fecthing content from the internet,

rendering the markup language, running the embedded scripts  etc.

May be these functionalities can be expected in future releases of the power point.

The reasons for expecting browser like functionalities in the power point slideshow are:

- you can embed content from the web such as Youtube video, google maps etc.

- MCQs and tests can be designed which can submit information to the server

- Newsfeeds can be utilized for presentations

Spectrum News: UC-backed startup hopes to save lives with AI

Genexia aims to detect heart disease in women by using mammograms.

By combining existing mammograms with its artificial intelligence, a University of Cincinnati-backed startup hopes to detect heart disease and save lives, Spectrum News reported .

Genexia , founded by Kelly Cohen , Dino Martis and Anoop Sathyan, aims to use explainable AI in mammograms for early detection of coronary artery disease to significantly reduce deaths and quality of life degradation for women.

Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of women in the United States and worldwide. In the U.S. alone, 500,000 women die annually as a result of heart disease.

“Women are not as fortunate. the symptoms are not that observable as with a man," said Cohen, who survived a heart attack. "I hope that our technology would make the difference and provide women with the chance I was provided."

The technology wouldn’t require any additional tests.

“By attaching this diagnostic to the mammogram, which they conveniently and regularly engage with, we are now able to proactively identify coronary artery disease for women who previously would have been not diagnosed,” Martis said.
