Remove PowerPoint password encryption
If you know the password, this removes the encryption and returns a .pptx that opens without one. Slides, speaker notes, transitions and embedded media survive untouched, because the file is decrypted rather than re-exported.
- Requires the correct password - we decrypt, not crack
- Byte-identical output - the PowerPoint presentation is unwrapped, not re-saved
- Zero storage - the file and the password never touch our disk
- Modern format only - .pptx, not the 97-2003 binary format
Encryption is not the same as read-only
Office offers two things people both call "password protected", and only one of them is encryption. A password to open the file encrypts its contents, and that is what this tool removes. A password to modify, or a protected sheet or section, is a flag inside a file that anyone can already open - it asks applications to enforce a restriction rather than making the contents unreadable. If your file opens and then refuses edits, it is the second kind.

Removing a password from a deck you can already open
Supply the password and you get back a .pptx that opens without
one. This needs the correct password: the slides are encrypted with a key derived
from it, so there is no route to the contents without it, and nothing that runs in
a browser changes that.
Why decks end up encrypted and then stuck
Presentations get password-protected for a specific moment - an unannounced product, a board meeting, results not yet public - and then that moment passes. What is left is a deck that everyone on the team needs and nobody can remember the password rules for, usually stored somewhere alongside the password in plain text, which is worse than no password at all. Once the sensitivity is gone, so is the reason for the friction.
Nothing in the deck is re-rendered
An encrypted .pptx is a wrapper around your original file, so
removing the password unwraps it rather than rebuilding it. What you download is
byte-for-byte the presentation that was protected: slide masters, custom fonts,
speaker notes, animations, transitions, embedded video and audio all intact. This
is the difference between decrypting a deck and "converting" it - a re-export is
where animations flatten and fonts get substituted.
Decks containing macros are refused
Encryption makes a file's contents invisible to scanners, which is why malware arrives as a password-protected Office document more often than you would guess. A presentation that decrypts to macro-bearing content is declined and no file is produced. For an unencrypted deck you want cleaned, removing the macros is a separate tool.
Modern format only
This handles .pptx, not the 97-2003 .ppt format,
whose older encryption we would rather decline than support without being able to
verify it properly. Open it in PowerPoint with the password and save it as
.pptx first.
File and password are handled in memory and discarded once your download is ready. The password is used to decrypt and for nothing else - not stored, not logged, not retained.
