Typptx is a command-line tool that converts Typst to PowerPoint with editable text, lists, tables, equations, and vector shapes.
Typptx has the following features:
- Editable text, lists, and tables
- Native click animations for Touying and Polylux overlays
- Editable vector shapes from Typst and CeTZ drawings
- Editable Office Math or Typst-rendered SVG equations
- SVG and PDF images with vector graphics preserved
- Hyperlinks and speaker notes
- Font embedding with support for variable fonts

Limitations
- Layout may differ from Typst; all pages must have the same dimensions.
- Centered or complex lists use separate text boxes without automatic renumbering. Complex table cells may also use separate objects.
- Inline graphics and highlights do not follow text edits.
- Rotated and simple horizontally reflected tables use editable text and shapes instead of table cells.
- Other table transforms and some equations require image fallback. Enable it with
--allow-image-fallback. - Fonts that cannot be embedded must be installed locally.
- Animations use discrete states. Changed content uses separate objects that overlap in editing and print views and must be edited independently.
- Links target slides, not individual animation steps.
