Use tool ↗About SlideNotes
SlideNotes converts presentation decks into written notes. You upload a PowerPoint or PDF file and it identifies the key phrases per slide and returns bulleted notes you can review or share, aimed at students revising lecture decks and at people who missed a meeting. It handles only those two file types. The free tier gives a limited number of notes and caps uploads at 5MB; paid access removes those limits and is sold monthly, yearly or as a one-off lifetime purchase. The service has been running since the start of 2024 and is contactable only by email — no company entity is named.

Pros & cons of SlideNotes
A narrow tool that does one conversion — deck to bullet notes — and prices it low enough to be an impulse purchase, including a $49.99 lifetime option that beats ten months of subscription. That narrowness is also the limit: two file formats, no integrations, and a small solo operation behind it with no company details published.
Pros
- Accepts both .pptx and .pdf and returns structured bulleted notes
- $4.99/month, $29.99/year or $49.99 once for lifetime access
- Free tier lets you test on real files before paying
- Terms and privacy policy published in full, dated from January 2024
Cons
- Only two supported file formats; no Slides or Keynote import
- No company entity, address or country named — email is the only contact
- No API, integrations or bulk processing
Best for
- Students converting lecture decks into revision notes
- Catching up on a presentation you did not attend
- Anyone who wants a lifetime licence rather than a subscription
Not for
- Google Slides or Keynote files without exporting first
- Large decks on the free tier, which caps uploads at 5MB
Watch out: Free accounts hit a 5MB upload ceiling, which most image-heavy lecture decks exceed.
