Image to PowerPoint: photos as slides, text in the notes
iEdit turns one or more photos into a PowerPoint presentation (PPTX) on your iPhone, iPad or Android phone, one slide per image. Printed text found in a photo is recognised on the device and written into that slide's notes.
Overview
Pick the photos, in the order you want them, and iEdit writes a PPTX with one slide per image. A photographed whiteboard, a set of printed handouts or the pages of a brochure become slides you can show straight away in PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides. Any printed text iEdit finds in a photo is placed in that slide's notes, so you have the words beside the picture.
The slide shows the photo itself, not a reconstruction, so text is not placed in editable text boxes; the notes are where you read, copy or search it. Text recognition runs on your device in nine scripts, with the default following your app language, and handwriting on a whiteboard is not read. The file is written by iEdit's own converter, with no server involved.
Teachers turn photographed handouts into a lesson deck, teams turn whiteboard photos into something they can present, and students bundle scanned pages for a seminar. Because photos and text stay on the phone, nothing confidential is uploaded. The presentation saves to My files free; sharing it is part of Premium.

Frequently asked questions
Why is the text in the notes rather than on the slide?
Because the slide is the photo, shown as you took it. Putting the recognised words in the notes keeps the picture untouched and gives you the text to read, copy or search. iEdit does not place text in editable boxes, so a heading you want to edit is one you copy from the notes.
Are my photos uploaded to build the presentation?
No. iEdit recognises any text on your device and writes the PPTX there too, with no server involved and no account needed. The tool works offline once any Tesseract model you have chosen is present, and your photos stay in your gallery.
What does Image to PowerPoint cost in iEdit?
Nothing to convert: the presentation saves to My files free. Sharing it to PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides, or saving it to Files, is part of iEdit Premium, an optional monthly subscription with a 3-day free trial.
