How to extract Excel from PowerPoint. Three steps, all in your browser.
Drop the deck.
Drag in a .pptx, choose it from your files or paste a copied file. Files up to 2 GB, any number of slides.
Every workbook, found and named.
Embedded objects, chart workbooks and legacy .bin files come out named by slide, so nothing needs sorting.
Download one or all.
Open a single workbook from the list or download everything as one ZIP, with sheets and formulas intact.
Sub-second extraction. Even for complex, workbook-heavy decks.
Structured for analysis. Every workbook, formula, and sheet.
Charts and tables, recovered.
Whether a sheet was dropped directly onto a slide or powers a chart behind the scenes, the extractor pulls every workbook out as an original .xlsx file.
Formulas and sheets intact.
Nothing is flattened into static snapshots. Multi-tab workbooks keep their sheet hierarchy, cross-sheet formulas, number formatting, and raw cell data untouched.
Deam vs other Excel extractors. Your deck never leaves your device.

Questions about extracting Excel from PowerPoint.
Is my presentation uploaded anywhere?
No. Your deck is opened and read directly inside this browser tab, and your workbooks are extracted right there. Once loaded, it even works completely offline without an internet connection. Neither your presentation nor your workbooks are ever sent to a server.
If you want to see it for yourself: press F12, choose the Network tab, and drop your deck: no file leaves your computer.
What kinds of embedded Excel objects can it find?
The tool finds every Excel workbook stored inside your presentation: worksheets dropped directly onto a slide, the source workbooks behind PowerPoint charts, and older OLE objects saved as .bin files. Supported formats include .xlsx, .xlsm, .xlsb, .xls, .xltx, and .xltm, and .bin containers are automatically unwrapped into regular .xlsx or .xls files you can open right away.
If a chart only links to an external Excel file on someone’s computer, that workbook is not inside the presentation: the tool lists the linked file name so you know it is external. Native PowerPoint tables or tables pasted as images do not contain an underlying workbook and are skipped.
Do formulas and formatting survive?
Yes. Nothing is converted or re-created: the tool extracts the original Excel file 1:1 as PowerPoint stored it. All sheets (including hidden tabs), formulas, cell formatting, conditional formatting, pivot tables, named ranges, and macros in .xlsm files remain completely intact.
Can I get the data behind a PowerPoint chart?
Yes, as long as the workbook is embedded in the presentation, which is the default when you create a chart in PowerPoint or paste one from Excel without linking. The tool extracts the complete Excel workbook behind the chart, including any additional data columns or sheets not visible on the slide.
If a chart was pasted using “Link Data” to an external Excel file, PowerPoint only stores a link to that file rather than the workbook itself. In that case, the tool displays the name of the linked workbook so you know which external file the chart references.
How do I extract Excel from PowerPoint manually or by unzipping the file?
In PowerPoint on desktop, you can save embedded workbooks one at a time:
1. Open the slide containing the embedded Excel table or chart.
2. Double-click the table (or right-click a chart and choose “Edit Data in Excel”) to open the workbook in Excel.
3. In Excel, go to File > Save As to save a standalone copy. You have to repeat this for every object in the deck.
With the manual ZIP method in Windows File Explorer:
1. Make a copy of your .pptx file and rename its file extension from .pptx to .zip.
2. Extract the archive and open the ppt/embeddings folder.
While ppt/embeddings holds the raw files, they carry generic names like Microsoft_Excel_Worksheet1.xlsx with no indication of which slide they belong to, and older OLE objects remain trapped as .bin files that Excel cannot open directly. This tool extracts all of them at once, unwraps .bin files automatically, and names every workbook after its slide.
Which files and browsers work?
Any PowerPoint presentation from PowerPoint 2007 or later (.pptx, .pptm, .ppsx, .ppsm, .potx, .potm). Older .ppt files can simply be saved as .pptx first. Password-protected presentations need their password removed.
Nothing is installed: the tool runs directly in your web browser on both Windows and Mac (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari).
Is there a size or slide limit?
No, there is no limit on the number of slides or embedded workbooks. The tool processes presentations with any number of slides and file sizes up to 2 GB. Because it skips slide images and videos and reads only the slide relationships and embedded workbooks, even large decks finish in under a second. Everything is free, with no sign-up.
