Converting Our PowerPoint to an Interactive Web Presentation

Key Takeaway

We took a static 20-slide PowerPoint and converted it into an animated, interactive web presentation with hover effects, embedded data viz, and keyboard navigation — hostable anywhere.

The Problem

PowerPoint is a creation tool, not a delivery tool.

You build a deck in PowerPoint, then you're stuck delivering it in PowerPoint. Want to share it online? Export to PDF — and lose all your animations. Share the .pptx — and hope the recipient has Office. Embed it in a website? There's no good way.

We had a 20-slide product overview deck that we needed to:

Host on our website for prospects to browse
Have interactive elements (hover for details, clickable sections)
Embed live data visualizations instead of static chart screenshots
Work on any device without installing anything
Track which slides prospects actually viewed (analytics)

PowerPoint can do exactly zero of these things.

The Solution

The HTML Presentations agent converts an existing .pptx into a fully interactive web presentation. It reads the slide content, preserves the structure, then rebuilds it as a single HTML file with animations, interactivity, and embedded data visualizations that PowerPoint couldn't handle.

The Process (with code/config snippets)

The instruction:

View details

Convert this PowerPoint to an interactive web presentation:
product-overview-q1.pptx

Add:
- Slide transitions (smooth fade)
- Hover tooltips on key metrics
- Interactive chart on slide 8 (replace static image)
- Keyboard navigation + progress bar
- Auto-advance option for kiosk mode
- Mobile-responsive layout

Host-ready: single HTML file for Vercel/Netlify

The agent first extracts content from the PPTX:

pythonShow code

from pptx import Presentation
import json

prs = Presentation('product-overview-q1.pptx')
slides_data = []

for i, slide in enumerate(prs.slides):
    slide_info = {
        'index': i + 1,
        'title': '',
        'content': [],
        'images': [],
        'notes': ''
    }
    for shape in slide.shapes:
        if shape.has_text_frame:
            text = shape.text_frame.text
            if shape == slide.shapes.title:
                slide_info['title'] = text
            else:
                slide_info['content'].append(text)
        if shape.shape_type == 13:  # Image
            slide_info['images'].append({
                'width': shape.width,
                'height': shape.height,
                'position': {'left': shape.left, 'top': shape.top}
            })
    if slide.has_notes_slide:
        slide_info['notes'] = slide.notes_slide.notes_text_frame.text
    slides_data.append(slide_info)

Then it rebuilds as interactive HTML, adding features the original couldn't have:

htmlShow code

<!-- Interactive chart replacing static PowerPoint image -->
<div class="slide" data-slide="8">
  <h2>Revenue Growth</h2>
  <div class="chart-container">
    <svg viewBox="0 0 600 300" class="interactive-chart">
      <!-- Bars with hover interaction -->
      <g class="bar-group" data-quarter="Q1" data-value="$2.1M">
        <rect x="50" y="180" width="60" height="120"
              fill="#4F46E5" rx="4"
              onmouseover="showTooltip(this)"
              onmouseout="hideTooltip()" />
        <text x="80" y="270" text-anchor="middle"
              fill="#94A3B8" font-size="14">Q1</text>
      </g>
      <!-- ... more bars with hover tooltips ... -->
    </svg>
    <div id="tooltip" class="chart-tooltip">
      <span class="tooltip-quarter"></span>
      <span class="tooltip-value"></span>
      <span class="tooltip-growth"></span>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

<script>
function showTooltip(el) {
  const tooltip = document.getElementById('tooltip');
  const group = el.parentElement;
  tooltip.querySelector('.tooltip-quarter').textContent =
    group.dataset.quarter;
  tooltip.querySelector('.tooltip-value').textContent =
    group.dataset.value;
  tooltip.style.display = 'block';
  tooltip.style.left = el.getBoundingClientRect().x + 'px';
  tooltip.style.top = (el.getBoundingClientRect().y - 60) + 'px';
}
</script>

The Results

Feature	PowerPoint	PDF Export	Web Presentation
Animations	Basic	Lost	Smooth CSS
Interactive charts	No	No	Yes (hover, click)
Mobile responsive	No	Zoom only	Full responsive
Hostable as URL	No	Link to file	Yes (any static host)
File size	4.2 MB	3.1 MB	89 KB
Keyboard navigation	Slideshow mode only	N/A	Full (arrows, space, F)
Analytics possible	No	No	Yes (slide view tracking)
Load time	3-5 seconds	2 seconds	Instant

The interactive version gets 3x more engagement than the PDF. Prospects actually click through the charts. The average PDF viewer looks at 4 slides. The web version averages 12.

Try It Yourself

Give the agent your .pptx file and describe what interactivity you want. It extracts content, preserves structure, and rebuilds with web-native features.

Host the output HTML file on Vercel, Netlify, or even GitHub Pages. Share a URL instead of an attachment. Your prospects will thank you by actually reading it.
