Most companies have a library of presentations: sales decks, onboarding material, product launches, quarterly reports, training sessions. They took real effort to make, they follow the brand guidelines, and they hold content that has already been approved. Most of them get presented once and then sit in a shared drive.
If you've searched for a "PowerPoint to video converter", you've probably found two kinds of tools. The first records your slides exactly as they are, so you get your deck with a fade between each page. The second is an AI video generator that ignores your deck and makes up something new, with its own colors, its own wording and sometimes its own numbers.
Neither is what most teams want. They want the deck they already have, turned into a video that looks designed for video, without losing the brand or the facts.
That's the feature we've just launched in Animax. Further down, we show how a 15-slide charity deck became a narrated, 2.5-minute video.
What Is Animax?
Animax is an AI-powered video studio that runs in your browser. You describe what you want in plain language, and Animax builds animated scenes for you: text, images, charts, counters, timelines, shapes, voiceover and background music, all laid out on a timeline.
Most AI video generators hand you a finished clip that can't be changed. Animax doesn't. Every element stays an editable object, so changing a headline, a color or a number takes seconds instead of a full regeneration.
New: Convert PowerPoint Presentations Into Animated Videos
Attach a .pptx file in the Animax chat and ask for a video. Animax reads the whole deck (text, tables, images, layouts and slide order) and rebuilds every slide as an animated scene.
Here's what happens to your deck:
- Your colors and fonts carry over. Animax picks up the deck's theme, including the colors and typography set in the slide masters, and applies it to the whole video.
- Your content stays exact. Every number, name, date and table cell is reproduced as written. Nothing is rounded, summarized or invented.
- Slides get real motion. Headlines reveal, bullet points arrive one by one, and a row of key figures can become animated counters or a bar chart. A sequence of dates can become an animated timeline.
- Clutter is removed. Page numbers, footers and date stamps belong in a printed deck, not on every frame of a video, so Animax leaves them out.
- Structured layouts stay intact. Some slides only work with everything in its place, like a 2×2 matrix or a product roadmap. Animax recognizes these and keeps each element where it was, adding motion without rearranging anything.
You stay in control before anything runs. Animax asks a few quick questions (keep the original look or restyle it, add a voiceover, add background music) and then shows a plan listing every slide it will create. You review the plan and start it.
Use your deck any way you want
Converting a deck is just the starting point. Once it's in Animax, you decide what happens next by asking in the chat. For example:
- Convert it as it is. Same content, same brand, same structure, designed for the screen instead of a projector.
- Keep the branding, change the content. Last quarter's results deck becomes this quarter's video. A launch deck for one product becomes the starting point for the next one.
- Make small adjustments. Tighten a headline, update a figure, cut a slide or change the pacing.
- Swap the images. Upload new photos in the chat and ask Animax to replace the ones from the deck.
- Restyle it. Keep the content and give it a completely new look.
- Build on it. Add new slides in the same style, a voiceover or background music.
Mix and match these however you like. There's no fixed menu of options: if you can describe it, you can ask for it.
Replace images straight from the chat
Attach your own photos, product shots or logos in the chat and say what to do with them, for example "replace the image on slide 3 with this photo" or "put our logo on the first slide". Animax places your exact file. It doesn't generate a lookalike, and placing it costs nothing.
Word documents, PDFs and spreadsheets work too
Not every source is a slide deck. You can also attach a Word document, a PDF, an Excel file or a CSV, and Animax builds the video from its content, using the real figures, names and dates as the source of truth.
The difference is simple. With PowerPoint, Animax keeps the look. With documents and spreadsheets, it keeps the facts.
Using Google Slides or Keynote? Export to PowerPoint first. In Google Slides, choose File → Download → Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx). In Keynote, choose File → Export To → PowerPoint. Then attach the file to Animax.
See It in Action: From a Charity Deck to a Narrated Video
This video started as a sample PowerPoint template for Wheel & Page, a nonprofit that sells handmade, fair-trade pottery from artisan cooperatives in Ghana, Peru and Vietnam. Most of the potters are women, and the sales fund scholarships for students in the communities where they live and work.
It's a typical 15-slide charity deck: a title slide, an agenda, the mission, the organization's commitments, a quote, a table explaining the model, impact figures, a scholar's testimonial, a call to action and a Q&A slide.
We attached the .pptx, asked Animax for a narrated video that stays faithful to the original design, and added background music. Animax did everything else. Here's what happened along the way.
1. Reading the deck
Animax extracted everything the deck contained: every slide's text, its photos, the table, where each element sat on the slide, and the theme. The theme here was a muted, earthy palette of charcoal, warm taupe and stone, which Animax applied to the whole project, so the video looks like the deck, not like a generic template.
2. Rebuilding every slide as an animated scene
Each of the 15 slides was rebuilt as its own scene. Because we asked Animax to stay close to the original, every slide kept its composition, with the photo on one side and the headline and copy on the other, in the same positions and the same colors.
What changed is that the slides now move:
- Photos slide and scale into place.
- Headlines and paragraphs appear one after another, in reading order.
- Divider lines draw themselves across the slide.
- The "How our model works" table stays a real table, with every cell intact.
Every fact came through word for word: 180 potters in 14 cooperatives, at least 70% of net profits going to scholarships, 1,240 scholarships funded since 2015, and Esi Mensah's quote about becoming the first in her family to go to university.
3. Combining slides into one continuous video
Animax placed the 15 scenes on a single timeline in the deck's original order and timed each one around its narration, so the slides play as one story instead of a stack of separate clips.
4. A voiceover for every slide, written as one script
This is the step that stops it feeling like a slideshow. Animax doesn't read each slide aloud on its own. It writes one narration script for the whole deck, based on the slides' text, so each line leads naturally into the next, the way a presenter talks through a story.
That script is then split into one voiceover clip per slide, spoken by a single narrator from start to finish. Each slide's length adapts to its line: if the narration needs more time, the slide stretches to fit, and a short pause after each line gives viewers a moment before the next slide arrives. In this video, the slides run between roughly 9 and 12 seconds each, for a total of 2 minutes 34 seconds, with every slide in sync with its voiceover.
5. Background music under the whole video
Finally, Animax generated one instrumental music track to fit the full length of the video. It sits at a lower volume beneath the narration so the voice stays clear, and it loops, so it won't cut out if you make the video longer later.
6. Still fully editable
The result is an Animax project, not a flat video file. You can swap a photo by attaching a new one in the chat, update a figure, re-record the voiceover for a single slide, or try a different narrator, all without starting again.
Why Turn Your Presentations Into Videos?
Stay on brand without a designer
Brand guidelines exist for a reason, and they're easy to break when every team produces its own videos. A new tool might default to its own palette, or someone picks a font that's "close enough". Starting from a deck that already follows the guidelines solves that: the approved colors, typography and layouts come in with the file.
Create content in minutes, not days
Getting a deck animated has usually meant briefing a motion designer and waiting. With Animax, the deck is already the brief. Slides convert in parallel, so a full presentation becomes a video in minutes, and fixes are a chat message away rather than another round of revisions.
Turn your whole slide library into video
Your old decks are full of usable content. Training material can become short onboarding videos. A sales deck can become a product explainer. A quarterly report can become a clip for LinkedIn. A conference talk can become something people actually watch after the event. Because the content is already written and approved, each conversion takes very little work.
Add narration without recording anything
Animax can add an AI voiceover that narrates the whole deck. For slides with a lot of text, it can show a short summary on screen and read the full text aloud, which suits video far better than a wall of bullet points.
Keep editing after it's made
The result isn't a flat MP4 you have to accept or throw away. Every slide stays editable, so you can change a figure, swap an image, adjust the timing or reorder scenes, either in the editor or by asking in the chat.
How It Compares to PowerPoint's Built-In Video Export
PowerPoint can already save a presentation as a video (File → Export → Create a Video). That's useful when you want a faithful recording of a talk: your slides exactly as they are, with their transitions and timings.
It doesn't make the deck look like it was made for video, though. Dense slides stay dense, static slides stay static, and a 16-point bullet list is just as hard to read on a phone as it was on a projector.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I convert PowerPoint to video for free?
Yes. On the free plan, Animax converts the first 5 slides of a deck, so you can see the result on your own presentation. Paid plans convert up to 30 slides (Pro) or 50 slides (Agency) per deck.
Will my PowerPoint animations carry over?
Animax doesn't replay the original deck's animations. It creates new motion for each slide, designed for video: reveals, staggered entrances, counters and timelines.
Does it work with Google Slides and Keynote?
Yes. Export your presentation as a .pptx file and attach that.
Can I use my presentation as a template for new content?
Yes. Import the deck to adopt its colors, fonts and layouts, then ask Animax to create new slides or rewrite the content in the same style.
Can I convert Word documents or PDFs into video?
Yes. Animax uses their content (text, figures and tables) to build the video. Keeping the original visual design is specific to PowerPoint files.
