### 1. Open the Generator In the editor, click **AI Generate**. Switch the input source to **Text**. You will see a large paste box. ### 2. Prep Your Text You do not need to format perfectly. You just need to remove the kinds of noise that confuse structure: repeated headers, navigation junk, and unrelated sections. #### Quick cleanup checklist - Keep headings and bullet lists if they exist - Delete disclaimers, cookie banners, and unrelated footers - Move must-keep facts to the top and label them clearly - If the text is huge, paste only the sections you will present #### Best input A short doc or notes with headings and bullets. Clear sections. A few numbers. A clear conclusion. #### Hard input A long wall of text with no structure. Mixed topics. Lots of repeated navigation content. ### 3. Paste Text Paste your content into the Text box. Aim for clarity over completeness. If you have an intro, a few sections, and a conclusion, that is enough to generate a solid first draft. ### 4. Set Type, Slides, Language, Goal These settings decide how the pasted text is transformed into a presentation. Text to PPT works best when you tell it what the deck is supposed to do. #### Type Pick the closest format. The tool uses the Type to choose pacing and slide composition. #### Slides 10 is usually the sweet spot for pasted text. If you choose 15 or more, expect more cleanup. #### Language Generate in the language you will present in. If your paste is bilingual, pick one and unify later. #### Audience Goal Write a single outcome. Approve, align, teach, persuade. This keeps summarization focused. ### 5. Generate the Deck Click **Generate Presentation**. The tool will summarize your text, choose layouts, and create a deck. Your job after generation is to keep the structure and fix the specifics. #### First pass checklist - Read slide titles only. Make sure they form a story. - Fix wrong assumptions first, not typography. - Replace generic examples with your actual examples. - Cut slides that repeat the same idea. ### 6. Polish Fast Text to PPT often produces more words than you want. The fastest polish loop is: shorten, clarify, and add one specific detail per slide. #### When slides are too dense Cut to 3 bullets. Replace paragraphs with labels. Make the slide title do more work. Prompt “Cut this slide to 3 bullets. Keep meaning. No fluff.” #### When slides feel generic Add one number, one constraint, or one real example. That usually fixes it. Prompt “Rewrite for a real team. Add concrete details and remove hype.” ### 7. Export PPTX or PDF Use **PPTX** for collaboration and edits. Use **PDF** for sending and printing. If you plan to edit later, export PPTX even if you also export PDF. #### Export choices - **PPTX:** best for teams, revisions, and last-minute edits. - **PDF:** best for sending, printing, and presenting anywhere. ### Troubleshooting - **It summarizes the wrong sections:** move your key sections to the top and regenerate, or paste only the relevant excerpt. - **Slides are too long:** choose fewer slides next time, then tighten with AI Director. - **Missing a must-keep point:** add it to a slide manually, then ask AI Director to integrate it cleanly. ### FAQ **What is text to ppt?** It turns pasted text into a structured slide deck, based on your selected type, slide count, language, and goal. **How much text should I paste?** Enough to understand the story. 300 to 2,000 words usually works well. If you paste a lot, expect stronger summarization. **How do I keep key points from being removed?** Put must-keep points at the top, label them clearly, and include any key numbers. Use the Goal field to emphasize priorities. **Should I use text to ppt or pdf to ppt?** Use Text to PPT when you can paste clean text. Use PDF to PPT when the source is a PDF and you want extraction handled for you. **What should I do after generation?** Do a story pass, tighten copy, replace generic examples, then export. AI Director is the fastest way to polish individual slides.
