This wikiHow teaches you how to convert a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation into a Microsoft Word document by using the "Create Handouts" feature on PowerPoint for Windows, or by exporting an RTF (Rich Text Format) file using PowerPoint for Mac. The current version of PowerPoint for Mac does not have the "Create Handouts" feature. RTF files are not able to accurately convert the formatting of some PowerPoint features, so many images and backgrounds may not be supported.

Things You Should Know

• Open the PowerPoint that you want to convert.
• On Windows, go to File > Export… > Create Handouts . Follow the prompts and select a layout for your Word document. Finish by clicking OK .
• On Mac, go to File > Export… . Enter a file name and choose a save location. Click File Format > Rich Text Format (.rtf) > Export .
• Open the RTF file in Word and go to File > Save As… > Format > Word Document (.docx) > Save .

• If you want the Word document to update whenever the original PowerPoint presentation is changed, click on Paste link .
• If you want the Word document to remain unchanged whenever the original PowerPoint presentation is updated, click on Paste .

• In most instances, the formatting and pagination will not match the original PowerPoint presentation and many pictures or backgrounds may not be supported by the RTF format. Be sure to go through the Word document and adjust it to your liking.

How to Convert PowerPoint to Word: A Step-by-Step Guide

To conduct engaging seminars and training sessions, it’s important to provide both on-screen and handout materials to the trainees. Rather than printing out each slide of a PowerPoint presentation, you can simply export the entire presentation into Microsoft Office Word and edit it to your liking.

You can also add more information, clean up the formatting, and convert the presentation into a note-taking guide, no matter whether you’re on a Mac or Windows computer.

How to convert PowerPoint to Word on Windows

Follow these simple instructions to convert a PowerPoint presentation into an editable Word document on a Windows desktop:

1. Open your PowerPoint file on your Windows device.

2. Select the “File” tab on the top left corner of the PowerPoint menu bar.

3. On the next screen, click “Export” from the left panel.

7. Under “Add slides to Microsoft Word document,” choose either “Paste” or “Paste link.” If you select “Paste link,” changes made to your PowerPoint presentation will be reflected in Word in real time. But if you choose “Paste,” your Word document will remain unchanged if even the original PowerPoint presentation is updated.

Select either “Paste” or “Paste link” ( Source )

8. Once you’ve made your selections, click the “OK” button. The presentation will automatically open as a Word document in a new window. You may now print, edit, or save the presentation as a new Word document.

Tips to export PowerPoint

Microsoft PowerPoint enables you to export presentations in a variety of different formats. But which one should you choose? Depending on your needs, you can select one of the following formats:

PDF/XPS documents: This file format can be easily read by PDF viewers, which makes it an optimal solution for sharing PowerPoint creations with someone who doesn’t have the Microsoft PowerPoint software.

Videos: This option is suitable for sharing PowerPoint creations that incorporate motion graphics, such as screen annotations and animations.

Handouts: This format converts your presentation into a Word document to easily edit your digital creation and design paper handouts for the audience of your presentation.

Online publishing: This method allows other PowerPoint users to view and download your presentation in real time, making collaboration easy.

Find the best tools for team training

Although Microsoft PowerPoint is a powerful presentation program, it’s not an ideal solution for training large organizations on new workplace processes and procedures.

Implement a learning management system (LMS) to strategically train your staff and produce a worthwhile return on investment. For more information on LMSs, check out this article on the best practices of implementing an LMS at the workplace .

How to Convert PowerPoint to Word (Step-by-Step)

• PowerPoint Tutorials
• Shortcuts & Hacks

In this article, you’ll learn how to convert PowerPoint to Word so that you can edit your handouts or speaker notes directly in Microsoft Word.

The only issue you need to be aware of is the content on your slides.

Converting PPT to Word does NOT convert the content of your slides into a Microsoft Word document. Instead, the process exports your slides as thumbnails in one of five following handout layouts:

The five handout options when converting PowerPoint to Word are:

• Notes next to slides
• Blank lines next to slides
• Notes below slides
• Blank lines below slides
• Outline only

There is currently no way to convert the content of your individual slides – text boxes, shapes, SmartArt graphics, etc. – into a native Word document. For that, you will unfortunately have to copy and paste your information manually, slide by slide.

Below you’ll find a variety of methods to convert your PowerPoint slides to Word. Choose the method that works best for you.

Note: If you are just trying to convert your slides into the PDF file format, you DO NOT need to convert your PowerPoint presentation into a Word document first. Instead, you can simply save your PowerPoint presentation in the PDF file format. Read our guide here for details .

[Watch] Convert PowerPoint to Word (Speaker Notes Only)

Exporting your slides to Microsoft Word like this embeds your slides as thumbnails within a table.

While you cannot edit the individual PowerPoint slides, you can manipulate the table to format your handouts any way you like.

To see an example of how to convert PowerPoint speaker notes to Word without the thumbnail, watch the short video above. To learn more different ways you can print PowerPoint notes, read our guide here .

How to Convert PowerPoint to Word

To convert your PowerPoint slides into Microsoft Word handouts, simply:

• Navigate to the File tab
• Select Export
• Click on the Create Handouts section
• Select the Create Handouts command
• Choose your Handout Type
• Select Paste or Paste Link (explained below)

As a result, Microsoft Word opens, and your PowerPoint slides are converted into handouts based on your  selection. For example, here’s how your slides look for the ‘Blank lines next to slides’ option.

Paste vs. Paste Link Options 

At the bottom of the Send to Microsoft Word dialog box, you are given the option to  Paste  or  Paste link  (as pictured below).

Paste:  Exports your slides to Microsoft Word as a standalone file. Any updates or edits you make to your slides in PowerPoint will not be reflected in Word.

If you update your slides and want those changes reflected in Word, you will need to export your slides all over again.

Paste link: Exports your slides to Word as linked thumbnail images. Any edits you make to your slides in PowerPoint will be automatically updated within the thumbnail images inside Word.

This is all great. However, there are two caveats to the  Paste link  option to be aware of. Read on to see what they are.

Caveat #1: Only the PowerPoint thumbnails are linked to Word

The link created only updates the thumbnails of your slides in Word.

That means that if you export your slides to Word with your Speaker Notes beneath the slides, and you later update those speaker notes in PowerPoint, your changes will not be reflected in the Word document.

You’ll need to follow the steps above to convert PPT to Word all over again, to have your changes accurately reflected.

Caveat #2: The Word thumbnails only live in Word

Any updates and edits you make to your slides in PowerPoint will be updated in Microsoft Word.

But if you delete slide thumbnails in Word or move things around, none of those changes will be reflected in PowerPoint.

In fact, any changes like these will be overwritten as soon as PowerPoint pushes its latest updates back to Word.

How to View linked PowerPoint Slides in Microsoft Word 

To view any linked PowerPoint slides you have in Microsoft Word, simply:

• Select the Info tab
• Click  Edit Links to Files

This opens the Links dialog box, which you can see below.

This is where you can update, edit, and manage any linked files to your Word document. Here is a quick rundown of what each of these options does:

Update Now: This forces Word to update based on whatever is in your PowerPoint file. This normally happens by default whenever you save your PowerPoint presentation, but you can control when it happens here.

Open Source:  This will open the PowerPoint presentation from which these slides are linked. This can be faster than trying to find the original presentation you used to create your handouts.

Note: If you move your PowerPoint presentation to a different place on your computer or change its file name after you convert PowerPoint to Word, you will get the following error: “This object is corrupt or no longer available”.

To fix this, simply use the Change Source option to re-locate the file. It’s either in a different location on your computer or has a new name.

Change Source:  This allows you to change which PowerPoint file you are linked to. It’s useful if you have updated the name of your PowerPoint file after you converted it to Word.

To maintain an active link between PowerPoint and Word, the PowerPoint file’s name needs to be the same.

Break Link: This allows you to break the PowerPoint to Word links for individual slides. When you break the link to a slide (as discussed further below), it will no longer update in Word as you edit it in PowerPoint.

Update method for selected link:  If you don’t want your files to automatically update, you can choose to manually update them instead.

How to Update a Linked PowerPoint Slide

Now that you know how to link PowerPoint slides to Word, there are two ways that you can update the links. Both methods achieve the same goal, so just pick the one that makes the most sense (and is easiest to remember) for you.

1. Right-click the slides in Word

To update an individual linked PowerPoint slide in Word, simply:

• Navigate to the slide you want to update
• Right-click the slide’s thumbnail picture in Word
• Select  Update Link

2. Use the Edit Links to Files command

To update all your linked PowerPoint slides in Microsoft Word, simply:

• Click the Info tab
• Select Edit Links to Files
• Select the slide you want to update
• Click Update Now

If you have multiple slides you want to update, you can continue selecting slides and updating them in Word.

If your document is set to Automatic Update, you can also just close and reopen Word to have all of your links automatically update (as long as you have saved and closed your PowerPoint presentation).

How to Break Linked PowerPoint Slides in Word

To break the links between your PowerPoint and Word files, from within Microsoft Word, simply:

• Select the linked slide you want to break
• Click Break Link

Because each PowerPoint slide thumbnail is considered a link, if you want to remove all the links, you will need to click on each slide and break it individually.

How to Insert PowerPoint into Word (as an embedded presentation)

An alternative to converting PowerPoint to Word as handouts is to instead embed your presentation inside of Microsoft Word.

When you do this, instead of inserting pictures of your slides, your entire PowerPoint presentation is is embedded. You can then double-click it to launch your presentation in PowerPoint.

To embed a PowerPoint presentation inside of Word, from within Microsoft Word simply:

• Navigate to the Insert tab
• Open the Object dropdown menu
• Select Object
• Choose Create from file
• Click Browse
• Navigate to and select your PowerPoint file
• Choose Link to File (assuming you want changes to automatically update)

As a result, your PowerPoint presentation becomes embedded in your Word document.

As you can see, there are several ways to convert PowerPoint to Word depending on what you are trying to accomplish. In addition, you have several options to choose from for each method.

Is it worth your time to link the two programs together? That depends on how frequently you need to update your PowerPoint slides (and want those updates reflected in Word). If you decide to go this route, I recommend spending a few extra minutes reviewing the tips above on linking and updating links, so you know what to expect (and how to fix things if your links get broken).

If you decide not to link PowerPoint to Word, you can always easily export your PowerPoint slides to Word whenever you update them. This is my recommendation for you if you are not updating your slides frequently.

This is great, but the file size becomes enormous once in word.

Yes this is true. You can check the compression options in Word to try to reduce the file size. Select a picture, go to Picture Format tab > Compress (inside Adjust) and select either Print or Web. It’s the same steps as for PPT, as we cover in our tutorial here: https://nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com/powerpoint-tutorials/powerpoint-compress-images/

Instructions in this article apply to PowerPoint for Microsoft 365, PowerPoint 2019, PowerPoint 2016, PowerPoint 2013, and PowerPoint 2010.

Convert PowerPoint Handouts to Word

When you want to edit PowerPoint handouts, convert the handouts into a document that can be edited in Word.

To convert handouts to Word format:

Open the PowerPoint presentation that you want to convert to a Word document.

Select File > Export . In PowerPoint 2010, select File > Save & Send .

Select Create Handouts and choose Create Handouts . In PowerPoint 2010, select Create Handouts under File Types and select Create Handouts under Create Handouts in Microsoft Word. The Send to Microsoft Word dialog box opens.

Select the page layout option you want to use.

Converting PowerPoint presentations to Word documents can be done in five different ways:

• Notes next to slides
• Blank lines next to slides
• Notes below slides
• Blank lines below slides
• Outline only

Comparing the options can help you choose the best one for you.

Notes Next to Slide on Handout

The first option when converting PowerPoint presentations to Word is the most commonly used printout option. A miniature version of the slide is printed on the left and a box showing any speaker notes written to accompany the slide are shown on the right.

Three thumbnail versions of your slides print on each page.

Blank Lines Beside Slide on Handouts

The second option when converting PowerPoint presentations to Word is to print blank lines beside the slide on the handout for the audience to make notes during your presentation.

Three thumbnail slides print on each page.

Notes Below Slides on Handouts

The third option when converting PowerPoint presentations to Word is to print speaker notes below the slide for easy reference during the presentation.

One slide prints on each page.

Blank Lines Below Slides on Handouts

The fourth option when converting PowerPoint presentations to Word is to print blank lines below the slide on the handout for the audience to make notes during your presentation.

One thumbnail version of the slide prints on each page.

Outline Only

When converting PowerPoint presentations to Word, the fifth option is to print an outline of all the text in the PowerPoint presentation. No graphics are shown in the outline, but this view is the quickest to use when editing is needed.

Paste or Paste Link

Another feature that PowerPoint offers when it converts your presentation to a Word document is the choice of Paste or Paste Link. Here is the difference.

• Choose Paste to create the handout in the style you have chosen.
• Choose Paste Link to create a handout in the style you choose as well. However, if the PowerPoint presentation is later edited, the changes appear in the Word document the next time it is opened. This is not the case when you choose the Paste command.

When you have made all your selections select OK and a new Word document opens with the PowerPoint handouts in the format you selected.

Microsoft developed the PPT format for PowerPoint, which is mostly used for creating and editing presentations. PPT files normally comprise slides of text, images and animations that can play as timed or manually controlled slideshows. Users can build presentations from scratch or use an online or company corporate template. PowerPoint is the most widely used format for presentations in both educational and work settings. It can also be used for creating reports, which users often save or print as a PDF. Since 2007, PPTX has been Microsoft’s standard file format for PowerPoint. However, even if you have a newer version of the program, you can still use it to open older PPT files, and also to save presentations into PPT format. PowerPoint is part of the Microsoft Office suite, but some other programs, like LibreOffice, Apple Keynote or Google Slides, can also open both PPT and PPTX files.

The DOCX format has been the standard format for Microsoft Word documents since 2007, replacing DOC. Microsoft Word is used widely in homes, workplaces and educational settings to create formatted text documents like reports, letters or resumes. As well as text, DOCX files can include pictures, tables, charts and embedded media, or can be an editable template. The DOCX format has some advantages over DOC, including typically smaller file sizes and better security. DOCX is an Office Open XML file, making it easier to open DOCX files in other programs like LibreOffice, Google Docs or Apple Pages, with fewer compatibility issues. Word is part of Microsoft Office’s paid software application and is also available with an Office 365 online subscription. Microsoft Office was designed for Windows, but you can install Office apps on other operating systems. Microsoft also has a basic free ‘Word for the web’ programme for online Microsoft account holders.

Just upload a PPT file to Zamzar’s website, click to convert it into DOCX format, and then download the converted file. The new document will have the same dimensions as your original presentation. If you don’t need to keep the layout and you have access to Microsoft Office, you can also open a PPT file with that and use the ‘Export’ feature to create DOCX handouts or make an RTF file that you can open in Word. It’s also possible to copy content from PPT slides to paste into a Word document.

How do I open a PPT file in Word?

You can open a PPT file in Word if you convert it first using PowerPoint or a file converter such as Zamzar.

Another way is to install file conversion software, but with Zamzar’s website, it’s also possible to convert files online without extra applications. Just upload your PPT, convert it, and then download a Word file that you can open on your device.

The free tool on Zamzar’s website can convert files in just a few clicks – upload the PowerPoint file, select to convert it into DOCX or DOC format, and then download the new file.

Related: How to Convert a PowerPoint to Word and Make It Editable

Maybe you want a jumpstart on creating your presentation using the text that you've saved in Word. Or maybe you've realized that your document would be better presented as a PowerPoint slideshow. With Word on the web, you can convert your document easily.

Here are a few things to keep in mind in terms of converting Microsoft Word documents to PowerPoint presentations. These points might be updated over time. The feature began rolling out in early 2021 :

• The ability to convert PowerPoint presentations is currently only available in Word for the web.
• The option is currently only available in English.
• The feature is not currently available when using Safari or Internet Explorer.
• At the time of writing, text content is available for export. If you have media content in your Word document, you'll need to add it to the PowerPoint presentation separately.

Now, if you're ready to give this feature a try, let's get to it! Head to the  Microsoft Office online  website, sign in to your account, and open your document in Word. You do not have to open PowerPoint in another tab or window.

Click File > Export and choose the "Export to PowerPoint Presentation" option.

You'll see a pop-up window with a collection of themes. Select the theme that you want to use and click "Export." You can change the theme in PowerPoint once it's exported if you like.

After several moments, you'll receive a notification that your newly converted presentation is ready. Click the "Open Presentation" button.

The slideshow will open in Microsoft PowerPoint for the web in a new tab.

The presentation will be saved to OneDrive automatically with the same name as your Microsoft Word document. If you haven't named your document, the slideshow will have a default name, such as Document 1. Click the name in the top-left corner and give it a new file name.

Styles like headings and bullet points should transfer as such. However, this could change depending on the theme that you select. Keep in mind that you might need to make some adjustments to the slideshow after you export it.

How to convert a Word document to a PowerPoint presentation.

Transform your Microsoft Word documents into engaging presentations with these simple steps to learn how to convert Word to PowerPoint.

Word documents are great for creating and editing, but they’re not always ideal for sharing. The best way to put your written thoughts into a shareable format is to convert your Word document to a PowerPoint online.

How to convert Word to PowerPoint in 3 steps.

Creating a captivating PowerPoint presentation from your Word document is a straightforward process that can be accomplished in just a few steps. By properly formatting your content, converting it to a PDF, and seamlessly transforming the PDF into a PowerPoint file, you can produce an engaging and visually appealing presentation.

Step 1: Format the document before you convert Word to PPT.

Before changing from a Word document to a PowerPoint presentation, it’s crucial to properly format your content for a seamless transition. By organizing your document, applying appropriate styles, and making necessary customizations, you can ensure a visually appealing and well-structured presentation. Here are the essential steps to format your document before converting it to a PowerPoint slideshow:

• Separate the Word document into sections with titles.
• Navigate to the Styles menu.
• In the document, highlight the title of your first slide or section.
• From the Styles panel, click the style named Heading 1 to apply it to the highlighted text. This style will indicate the main titles of your PowerPoint slides.
• Continue by highlighting the rest of the content on your first page.
• Select Heading 2 from the Styles panel to apply it to the highlighted text. This style is used for subtitles or content within each slide.
• Optionally, for more sub-bullets or subsections, you can use the Heading 3 style from the Styles panel.
• To create a separation between slides, add a blank line by pressing Enter or Return before each new title. This ensures that each slide is separated within the document.
• Customize your text if desired. After setting up the outline, you can modify the size, color, and font of your text. These customizations will carry over when you convert the document to PowerPoint.

Step 2: Save the Word document as a PDF.

The first step to converting a Word document to PowerPoint is to change it into a PDF. Luckily, it’s easy to convert Word to PDF right from your web browser with an online PDF editor like Adobe Acrobat online services:

• Visit the PDF editor website.
• Upload the Word document you want to convert.
• Select the file type (usually DOC or DOCX).
• Download your newly created PDF.

Unlike Word documents, PDFs maintain their formatting no matter which device you use to view them. While they might be great for sending, there’s still one more step to take if you want to make your Word document presentation-worthy.

Step 3: Convert the PDF to PPT.

Now that you saved your Word document as a more manageable file type, you can convert the document to a PowerPoint by following similar steps:

• Navigate to the PDF to PPT tool .
• Upload your PDF file.
• Download the new PPT file.

All the information in your Word document will now be in a share-friendly PowerPoint. Simply add a few images and slide transitions, and you’ll be ready for your next big presentation.

Best practices when converting Word to PPT files.

Before converting your Word document into a captivating PowerPoint presentation, it’s essential to follow best practices that will optimize your content and ensure a seamless transformation. By implementing the following guidelines, you can enhance the visual appeal and effectiveness of your presentation:

• Simplify the content . Remove excessive text and focus on key points that will enhance the visual impact of your presentation.
• Utilize headings and subheadings . Structure your document using headings and subheadings to create a clear hierarchy and aid in slide creation.
• Optimize images . Resize and compress images to reduce file size and improve the performance of your PowerPoint presentation.
• Review and edit . Thoroughly proofread your Word document before conversion, checking for any spelling or grammatical errors that may carry over into the PowerPoint presentation.
• Preserve consistency . Maintain consistent formatting throughout your document, including font styles, colors, and alignments, to create a cohesive and professional presentation.
• Test the converted presentation . After conversion, review the converted PowerPoint presentation to ensure all elements, formatting, and transitions are accurately rendered. Make any necessary adjustments or edits as needed.

After I convert Word to PPT, can I convert it back?

Yes, if you need to revert, it’s possible to convert PowerPoint to Word again, though there are some limitations. When converting from PowerPoint to Word, the content is primarily changed into a basic outline format. This means that complex formatting, images, animations, and other visual elements may not be preserved. However, if you need to extract text content or create a document with a simplified structure, converting a PowerPoint presentation to a Word document can be helpful.

Steps to convert PowerPoint to Word:

• Open the PowerPoint presentation you want to convert.
• Click the File menu and select Save As.
• In the Save As dialog box, choose a name and location to save the converted Word document.
• In the “Save as type” dropdown menu, select “Rich Text Format (.rtf)” or “Plain Text (.txt)” as the file format.
• Once saved, you can open the converted file in Microsoft Word or any compatible word-processing software to access the textual content.

Note: Remember that the converted Word document will primarily consist of a basic outline format, and any complex formatting or visual elements may not be preserved.

How to Convert PowerPoint to Google Slides Without Losing Formatting

What happens when you convert powerpoint files to google slides.

Ideally, you should be able to open and use PowerPoint files in Google Slides without any issues. But in some cases, the fonts, animation, text transparency, and other elements used in the slide can change during file conversion. So, it is important to note the following things when converting your PowerPoint file for use in Google Slides:

• Not all PowerPoint themes are compatible with Google Slides.
• PowerPoint and Google Slides can use GIFs so these should transfer without issues.
• Certain animations and fonts aren’t compatible with Google Slides.
• Audio from PowerPoint slides can carry over but only if they’re in .mp3 or .wav format.
• Video from PowerPoint slides will work fine in Google Slides but they should be in .webm, .mp4, .3gp, .mov, or .avi format.
• Use a custom slide size in Google Slides after converting the PowerPoint file.

How to Convert PowerPoint Files to Google Slides Without Losing Formatting

Google offers a built-in tool in Google Drive to convert PowerPoint files to Google Slides. This is your best option to keep formatting issues at bay, though there’s no guarantee you won’t run into them.

• Open Google Drive on your PC.
• Click  New .
• Select  File Upload .
• Upload the PowerPoint file you want to convert.
• Proceed to open it.
• Click  File .
• Select  Save as Google Slides .

By following the above steps, you can retain themes and certain animations during the conversion process. However, expect issues to pop up in Google Slides if the presentation uses custom or incompatible fonts, complex animations, and large audio files. In cases like these, you have to manually add or modify these elements.

It is recommended to add large video files to Google Slides after converting the file from PowerPoint format.

You can upload PowerPoint files using the same method from the Google Slides app on your Android or iPhone. But to convert it into a native Google Slides format, you must access Google Drive on the web using your PC

How to Check Formatting Issues with PowerPoint Files in Google Slides

It can be confusing to see what formatting changes were made when uploading your file to Google Slides, especially when you’re working on a large presentation. You can avoid this problem and make editing easier by checking for elements that did not transfer properly during the conversion.

• Open Google Drive.
• Open your file.
• Click .PPTX  and check if there are any compatibility issues.

A list of issues, if any, will appear as shown in the image below.

From here, you can note the list of the changes you need to make and do it once the file has been converted from PowerPoint to Google Slides format.

Convert With Less Hassle

Since PowerPoint is a more powerful presentation creator than Google Slides, there could be a lot of problems when converting files from one program to the other. As much as possible, we highly recommend sticking to one program for making presentations as it will be easier to edit on your end.

If you want another helpful trick, here’s how you can add speaker notes to Google Slides to make delivering your presentation easier.

A: Yes, you can download Google Slides files to PowerPoint by picking the .PPTX format when downloading a file. You can then open this file on PowerPoint.

A: The file formats compatible with PowerPoint are .asf, .avi .mp4, .m4v, .mov .mpg or .mpeg, and .wmv.

A: No, there’s no natural way to add more fonts to Google Slides or any Google Drive tools. You can access new fonts by using extensions like Extensis Fonts.

File uploads FAQ

What’s changing?

We’re adding a new capability to upload and work with different types of documents inside ChatGPT. This capability builds on our existing Advanced Data Analysis model (formerly known as Code Interpreter) to improve performance on text-rich documents including PDFs, Microsoft Word documents, and presentations.

Availability

Available now to all ChatGPT Plus and ChatGPT Enterprise users on the web at chat.openai.com, our iOS/Android mobile apps, and coming soon via API.

How does the new file uploads capability work?

The file uploads capability was created to support the following tasks:

Synthesis : Combining or analyzing information from files and documents to create something new, for example:

Upload a spreadsheet, for example a CSV, with a mix of qualitative and quantitative information, and ask ChatGPT to help you understand and visualize the data.

Compare and contrast two documents.

Analyze sentiment or tone in a document.

Analyze a spreadsheet.

Apply a framework or rubric from one document to the contents of another.

Transformation : Reshaping information from documents without changing its essence, for example:

Upload a complicated research paper and ask ChatGPT to provide a simple summary.

Upload a powerpoint presentation and ask ChatGPT for feedback on the content.

Summarize a document in simple terms.

Rewrite a short document in a particular style.

Turn a presentation into a document.

Extraction : Pulling out specific information out of a document, for example:

Upload a PDF and have ChatGPT find any references to a certain topic.

Pull out relevant quotes from a document.

Search for any mention of a particular topic from a document or spreadsheet.

Extract metadata (author, creation date, etc.) from a document.

Count the number of rows in a spreadsheet that contain a certain attribute

Extract specific sections of a document (e.g., all headings or all bullet-point lists).

What types of files are supported?

All common file extensions for text files, spreadsheets, presentations, and documents.

How many files can I upload at once per GPT?

Up to 10 files per GPT for the lifetime of that GPT. Keep in mind there are file size restrictions and usage caps per user/org.

What are those file upload size restrictions?

All files uploaded to a GPT or a ChatGPT conversation have a hard limit of 512MB per file.

All text text and document files uploaded to a GPT or to a ChatGPT conversation are capped at 2M tokens per files. This limitation does not apply to spreadsheets.

For images, there's a limit of 20MB per image.

Additionally, there are usage caps:

Each end-user is capped at 10GB.

Each organization is capped at 100GB.

Note: An error will be displayed if a user/org cap has been hit.

How do I delete files I upload?

Files uploaded to Advanced Data Analysis are deleted within 3 hours. If you are encountering your file usage cap, you can also delete files from recent chats or from any GPTs that you built, as these share caps.

Are you able to handle images embedded in docs/presentations?

Images embedded in documents/presentations (i.e. in image in the slide of a slide deck) are not supported yet. We plan to add support for this in the future.

Will OpenAI use files uploaded to train its models?

The answer depends on the service you are using. As explained in this article , we may use content submitted to ChatGPT, DALL·E, and our other services for individuals to improve model performance. Content may include files that are uploaded. Please refer to this article to understand how content may be used to improve model performance and the choices that users have.

Please note that we do not use content submitted by customers to our business offerings such as our API and ChatGPT Enterprise to improve model performance.

Please see our Enterprise Privacy page for information on how we use business data.
