Training and sales archives
Normalize old decks before cataloging, review, controlled distribution, or migration.
Presentation modernization
Convert PPT to PPTX before slide migration, search, or AI processing
Historical presentations often contain product decisions, training material, proposals, diagrams, and project knowledge. Converting PPT into PPTX creates a modern intermediate package that downstream tools can inspect without embedding Microsoft PowerPoint in the server workflow.
Good-fit scenarios
Slide-level search
Prepare presentations for a downstream parser that extracts text and metadata one slide at a time.
Knowledge discovery
Recover searchable content from historical project decks before chunking and indexing.
Backend upload compatibility
Accept PPT uploads and hand a PPTX result to a modern preview or analysis component.
Recommended pipeline
PPT→CoreNova API→PPTX→visual sample check→per-slide parsing
For AI search, keep slide number, deck title, source path, and any extracted speaker-note relationship as metadata. Avoid combining an entire presentation into a single embedding when slide-level retrieval is required.

- Compare slide count and slide order.
- Inspect text boxes, grouped shapes, images, charts, fills, and master-dependent formatting.
- Check text overflow and font substitution.
- Confirm the downstream parser preserves slide boundaries.
- Manually review representative complex decks before batch migration.
Boundary: the API does not promise universal visual fidelity, animation equivalence, macro execution, or semantic slide understanding. Use a downstream parser for text, notes, layout, and chunk generation.
