pip install pptx2md

Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pptx2md' ↓

cause pptx2md not installed or installed in wrong environment.

fix

Run pip install pptx2md in the correct Python environment.

error AttributeError: module 'pptx2md' has no attribute 'convert' ↓

cause Using an old version (1.x) where the API was different.

fix

Upgrade to version 2.x with pip install -U pptx2md and use pptx2md.convert().

error TypeError: convert() missing 1 required positional argument: 'output_path' ↓

cause Forgot to provide output file path.

fix

Call pptx2md.convert('input.pptx', 'output.md') with both arguments.

Warnings

breaking In version 2.x, the API changed from the 1.x CLI-only approach. The function `convert` is now the primary interface. ↓

fix Use `pptx2md.convert('input.pptx', 'output.md')` instead of calling the script directly.

gotcha Images are not extracted by default; you must specify `--images` or the `extract_images=True` parameter to save images. ↓

fix Add `extract_images=True` when calling `convert`, or pass `--images` in CLI.

gotcha The library requires Python 3.10 or newer. Using older Python versions will cause import errors. ↓

fix Ensure your environment uses Python >=3.10.
