Turn your PowerPoint decks into interactive courses
June 21, 2026

Most teams already have their training somewhere — and very often, that somewhere is PowerPoint. Decks full of hard-won content, sitting in a folder, not doing much once the presentation''s over.
So we built a way to bring that work to life: upload a PowerPoint deck and CourseConverter turns it into a structured, interactive course you can edit, brand, and export to any LMS.
How it works
PowerPoint is a visual format — a slide is a canvas of arranged shapes, not a course outline. That makes importing genuinely different from a clean structured file, and it''s why we use a hybrid approach:
- Extract — we read each slide''s text, speaker notes, and images.
- Organise — AI groups your slides into logical modules and turns the content into course blocks (including a knowledge check per module where it fits).
- Review — you approve the proposed outline, then review the full course, before anything is saved.
The AI step is the important one. A deck doesn''t tell a machine where one topic ends and the next begins — but it''s exactly the kind of judgement AI is good at. Give it your slide titles, content, and notes, and it produces a sensible module structure you''re likely to keep.
Speaker notes are the secret ingredient
Here''s the tip that makes the biggest difference: your speaker notes get imported too. On a lot of decks, the slide is a few bullet points and the real substance lives in the notes — your talking points, the context, the “what I''d actually say”. CourseConverter pulls that across, so a sparse-looking deck with rich notes can become a surprisingly complete course.
What comes across
Slide text, speaker notes, images (added to your media library and placed in the relevant module), and bullet lists where your slides use real PowerPoint lists. AI shapes it all into readable blocks and adds knowledge checks where they make sense.
The honest part
We''d rather tell you the limits up front than have you discover them. PowerPoint import converts your deck into content, not a pixel-perfect copy:
- Charts, SmartArt, tables, and animations aren''t recreated — text is salvaged where possible, but the visual layout isn''t.
- Quizzes aren''t auto-detected (PowerPoint has no real quiz concept), so AI adds its own knowledge checks, which you can edit or remove.
- Imported images appear at the end of each module — move them wherever you like in the editor.
The richer your deck (especially the notes), the better the result. A deck that''s almost entirely images will produce a thinner course.
Try it
From your dashboard: New course → Create from PowerPoint with AI, upload your .pptx, review the outline, and generate. PowerPoint import is a Pro feature and runs on your own AI provider key, so you control the cost and your content stays yours.
That deck you spent a week building deserves a second life as a course people can actually work through.
