Yes. To export NotebookLM slides to editable PowerPoint, open the slide deck in Studio, choose Export and pick editable PowerPoint. This output is part of Ultra Exporter Pro. You get a .pptx with native title and body text boxes rebuilt from the text available in the slide output, so you can edit wording, fonts and layout in PowerPoint, Google Slides or Keynote.

## Quick facts

| Item | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| Content | Slide decks are presentations NotebookLM generates in Studio. Each slide is delivered as an image, with its text available separately. |
| Output | editable PowerPoint (.pptx) |
| Plan | Pro |
| Where | Export control on the slide deck, or the Studio list |
| Processing | Converted in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to export. |

## Steps

1. Install [NotebookLM Ultra Exporter](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/notebooklm-ultra-exporter/afchokljnhhggkhedfbmkcmdagjmjchj) in desktop Chrome, then refresh any open NotebookLM (Gemini Notebook) tab.
2. Connect Pro: open the extension's account panel and sign in with the Google account you bought Pro with.
3. Open the slide deck in Studio and click the Export control, or use the export entry in the Studio list.
4. Choose **editable PowerPoint** in the list of outputs and set any options shown for it.
5. Open the downloaded file and check it before you rely on it or share it.

## What you get

You get a .pptx with native title and body text boxes rebuilt from the text available in the slide output, so you can edit wording, fonts and layout in PowerPoint, Google Slides or Keynote.

The conversion does not use OCR and does not recreate every original shape or chart. You can keep each original slide as a thumbnail or append the original image after each slide for reference.

## Limits to know before you export

- NotebookLM renders each slide as an image. Standard exports keep that look and are not editable text.
- Page selection and image quality options follow what the export panel shows for your deck.
- The deck must have finished generating and must open in the notebook.

## Can NotebookLM export slides on its own?

Gemini Notebook can download a deck as PDF or PPTX, but every slide is one flat image, so the text and charts cannot be edited. Google changes these menus often. The item's own menu in your notebook shows what is built in today.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is it free to export NotebookLM slides to editable PowerPoint?

No. This output needs Ultra Exporter Pro, available as an annual plan or a one-time purchase. Remaining free exports cannot unlock it.

### Does editable PowerPoint export recreate the original design?

No. It is a clean re-layout of the slide text into native text boxes, not a reconstruction of every graphic. Keep the originals as thumbnails or reference slides.

### Why can I not edit the text in a NotebookLM slide deck?

Because each slide is generated as a single image. To get editable text you need a rebuild from the slide text, which is what [editable PowerPoint export](https://nlmexporter.com/guides/export/slides-to-editable-powerpoint) does.

### Can I export several slide decks at once?

Yes. Batch export in Studio can include several decks. Free handles 5 items per batch; Pro removes that limit.
