Convert a PowerPoint (.pptx) to Word: slide titles, bullets, tables and speaker notes as editable text, with optional slide pictures
Drop the .pptx on PPT to Word, choose what to include (slide text and tables, speaker notes, slide pictures) and click Convert to Word. Each slide becomes a 'Slide N: title' heading with its text below, and you download a .docx. It runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

Result: A Word (.docx) document
Titles, bullet points (with their indent levels), text boxes and tables are real Word text, not pictures. Bold, italic and underline are kept.
Each slide's notes are placed under it, labelled Speaker notes. Turn them off if you only want the slide text.
Slide pictures are drawn in your browser: text, photos and plain colour fills come out well; charts, SmartArt, gradients, WordArt and exact theme fonts are simplified or missing. The text below each picture is the real slide text.
Old binary .ppt files must be saved as .pptx in PowerPoint, Keynote or LibreOffice Impress first. Google Slides can download a .pptx.
The .pptx is read and the Word file is written in your browser.
Turn it off to run the slides on continuously.
The slide order comes from ppt/presentation.xml. In each slide's shape tree, the title placeholder becomes the heading; body placeholders become bulleted items at their outline level; other text boxes become paragraphs; tables (a:tbl) become Word tables; and the notes slide's body text becomes the speaker notes.
When 'Slide pictures' is on, each slide is drawn by the same renderer as AnyTool's PPT to Images and placed above its text at the page width. The drawing is a best effort: charts, SmartArt and gradients are simplified.
The presentation is processed in the browser; nothing is uploaded.
