Split PowerPoint and extract slides
Drop your presentation into the box, pick the slides and download them as a new PowerPoint, or every slide as its own file. Design, notes and animations stay intact. Your file never leaves your device.
Extract slides
Your file stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded.
Short answer
To pass on only part of a presentation, say the proposal without the internal pricing, you would save a copy in PowerPoint and delete the other slides, or, as Microsoft describes it, copy each slide and paste it into a blank presentation with Keep Source Formatting. This tool does it in one step: tick slides or type a range such as "1-3, 7" and download the new file. Or get every slide as its own PowerPoint, all together in one ZIP. Slide master, layouts, notes and animations of the chosen slides stay; pictures, charts and notes of the other slides are no longer in the file. In our test, an 87-slide, 25.7 MB deck became a 3-slide file of 2.0 MB.

What comes along and what goes
Comes along
- The chosen slides with text, pictures, charts, tables and animations
- Their speaker notes and comments
- The complete design: slide master, layouts and colours as in the original
- Sections, as far as they contain chosen slides
Goes
- All other slides with their pictures, charts and notes
- Links to removed slides; the linked text itself stays
- The preview thumbnail and the list of slide titles in the file properties, so nothing hints at the removed slides
- Custom shows that consisted only of removed slides
How to do it in PowerPoint itself
One slide as its own file
According to Microsoft: select the slide in the thumbnail pane, Home, Copy, then File, New, Blank Presentation. Paste with Keep Source Formatting, delete the empty first slide and save. On a Mac it works via Edit, Copy and File, New Presentation.
Keep several slides
Save the presentation as a copy and delete every slide that should not go along in the copy: select several slides in the thumbnail pane, right-click, Delete Slide.
Large decks in parts
For email size limits: take out a range such as "1-20", then "21-40" and so on. If a part is still too large, use Compress PowerPoint.
Why nothing is uploaded
The tool runs as a program in your browser. The presentation is opened and read there, and you get the result as a download. It is not sent to Slaide or any other server.
The first time, the browser loads the tool's own code once, not your file. You can check this yourself in the developer tools under Network.
Frequently asked questions about splitting PowerPoint
Is the tool free?
Yes. No account, no watermark and no limit on how many slides or presentations you split.
Is my presentation uploaded?
No. The file is opened and split in your browser and never leaves your device.
Does the design stay the same?
Yes. The new file has the same slide master, layouts and colours as the original, because it is made from the original rather than rebuilt.
Are the pictures of removed slides still in the file?
No. Pictures, videos and charts that were only on removed slides are gone from the file, so the new presentation is smaller. Logos and backgrounds from the template stay.
Can I split a presentation into several parts?
Yes: type a range such as "1-10", download, then "11-20" and so on. Or get every slide as its own file, all together in one ZIP.
Does it work with .ppt files and on a Mac?
On a Mac, on Windows and on phones, yes, in any current browser. Old .ppt files, no: open them in PowerPoint and save as .pptx. Files can be up to 400 MB.
Turn the slides into a new presentation?
Slaide builds a new presentation in your design from your slides and a short brief, and exports it as an editable PowerPoint. Try it free, no credit card.
