Convert PPTX to XLSX
Updated Jul 2026
PPTX is a slide deck and XLSX is a spreadsheet grid, so converting one to the other means pulling the text, bullet points, and any tables off each slide and laying them out as rows and columns you can sort or calculate on. You can do this on your own computer with a converter, without uploading the deck anywhere.

How to convert PPTX to XLSX
- Open Morphjet and drag in the PPTX file, or a whole folder of decks, that you want to convert.
- Choose XLSX as the output format.
- Convert. The spreadsheet is written next to your original, with each slide's text and tables organized into rows, and nothing leaves your machine.
PPTX vs XLSX: what actually changes
| PPTX | XLSX | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Presenting to an audience | Sorting, filtering, and calculating on the content |
| Layout and design | Keeps the full visual layout, fonts, and images | Not kept, slide content becomes plain text and numbers in cells |
| Tables | Static, sit on the slide as a picture of a table | Live in a grid, ready to edit, sort, or run formulas on |
| File size | Larger, images and slide backgrounds add weight | Smaller, mostly plain text and numbers |
| Compatibility | Opens in PowerPoint and most office suites | Opens in Excel, Sheets, and most office suites |
| Editing the content | Text is boxed to a slide, awkward to reuse | Text and numbers sit in cells, easy to reuse elsewhere |
When to convert, and when not to
Convert PPTX to XLSX when you want to pull the text, bullet points, or table data out of a slide deck and work with it as a list, for example auditing what's in a deck or turning slides that each describe one item into a spreadsheet row per item.
Keep the PPTX if you actually need to present the deck or preserve its visual layout and images, since a spreadsheet has no way to hold slide design.
Why not just use an online converter?
Slide decks often carry a company's internal numbers, roadmaps, or client details, and an online converter means handing that deck to a stranger's server just to pull the content into a spreadsheet. Converting on your own computer keeps the deck, and whatever it says about your business, on your machine the whole time.
Questions
Will my slide images and design carry over to the spreadsheet?
No. A spreadsheet is a grid of cells, so only the text and any tables from your slides come across. Images, backgrounds, and layout don't have a place to go in XLSX.
How is the slide content organized once it's in the spreadsheet?
It's laid out as rows and columns, generally with each slide's text and any table data placed so you can scan, sort, or filter it like a normal spreadsheet.
Do the tables from my slides become real, editable spreadsheet data?
Yes. A table built in PowerPoint is really just static rows on a slide, but once it's in XLSX it's an actual grid of cells you can edit, sort, or use in formulas.
Can I convert PPTX to XLSX without uploading the file anywhere?
Yes. Morphjet runs the conversion on your own computer, so the deck never travels over the internet. You can do it with your wifi off.
Why would I turn a presentation into a spreadsheet at all?
It's mainly useful when the deck is really a list in disguise, like one slide per product or one slide per client, and you'd rather work with that information as sortable rows than click through slides one at a time.
Morphjet converts PPTX, XLSX, and 1,800+ other formats, all on your machine. Launching this July.
