python-pptx is a Python library for creating, reading, and updating PowerPoint (.pptx) files using the Open XML format. It generates presentations programmatically without requiring PowerPoint to be installed.

Use cases

  • generate powerpoint presentations from database queries or payloads
  • create pptx slides automatically in python
  • read and extract text and images from powerpoint files
  • automate building slide decks from analytics output
  • update existing powerpoint files programmatically
  • serve generated pptx downloads from a web request

When to choose

  • you need to generate or modify .pptx files in Python without PowerPoint installed
  • you want to extract content from a corpus of PowerPoint files for indexing or analysis
  • you need cross-platform, MIT-licensed presentation automation

When to avoid

  • you need to render slides to images or PDF
  • you work with legacy .ppt binary format files
  • you need a full office suite rather than a library
