1. Before: Creating PowerPoint slides manually is painful
For years, I created PowerPoint slides the slow, manual way:
- Open a webpage
- Take a screenshot
- Save the image
- Open PowerPoint
- Insert the image
- Add a title
- Repeat again and again
If you need to capture 10, 20, or 50 webpages, this process becomes torture.
It easily takes 30 minutes to several hours.
2. After: Now it takes only seconds
So I built a Windows tool that does everything automatically:
- Enter URLs
- Click one button
- The app captures each webpage
- Generates a PowerPoint deck
- Inserts each screenshot into its own slide
- Adds titles automatically
The entire process finishes in a few seconds.
3. How it works
Here’s the simple architecture:
- Built as a Windows desktop app
- Uses WebView2 to render webpages
- Captures screenshots programmatically
- Generates a PowerPoint file using the Office API
- Everything runs locally (no data leaves your PC)
4. Use cases
This tool is especially useful for:
- Competitive research
- Client reports
- UI/UX reviews
- Website archiving
- Academic or business documentation
- Creating slide decks from dozens of URLs instantly
5. Try it (Lite and Pro versions)
- Open URLs Lite – free version
- Open URLs Pro – includes automatic PowerPoint generation Both are available on the Microsoft Store.
6. Final thoughts
If you create PowerPoint slides regularly, this tool can save you hours every week.
I built it because I needed it myself — and I hope it helps you too.
I built this as a Windows desktop app to automate the entire workflow.
