[fit] Markdown to Figma Slides

Turn a plain .md deck into editable Pitchdeck slides.

Deckset-style syntax, Figma layers, PowerPoint export.

^ Open by dragging this file into the Pitchdeck import dropzone. The first thing to point out: this is plain Markdown, but it imports as editable Figma slides.

Why Markdown Import?

[.column]

Write fast

• Draft in any editor
• Keep slides in Git
• Reuse existing Markdown notes

[.column]

Design later

• Import as editable Figma layers
• Adjust type, layout, and colors
• Export to PPTX when ready

[.end-columns]

^ This slide is useful for the demo because it shows columns, headings, bullets, and editable text all in one import.

Deckset-style syntax

Pitchdeck supports familiar presentation Markdown patterns:

• --- separates slides.
• # [fit] creates big fitted titles.
• ^ Notes become presenter notes.
• [.background-color: #0f172a] customizes one slide.
• Top-level commands set deck-wide style.

slide-dividers: ---
slidenumbers: true
footer: Pitchdeck Demo

^ Show the source file here and point at the Deckset-style commands. Then switch back to Figma to show that the imported result stays editable.

[.background-color: #f8fafc] [.header: #0f172a, alignment(center), text-scale(74)]

One file, many layer types

Markdown source	Imported result	Editable in Figma
Headings and paragraphs	Text layers	Yes
Lists and quotes	Structured text	Yes
Tables	Text-based table layout	Yes
Mermaid diagrams	Vector diagram	Yes
Presenter notes	Slide notes	Yes

^ Tables are a good quick visual proof that the importer is not only making screenshots. The cells come in as editable text-based content.

From text to a designed deck

flowchart LR
  A[Markdown file] --> B[Pitchdeck import]
  B --> C[Editable Figma slides]
  C --> D[Polished deck]
  D --> E[PPTX export]

^ Mermaid is especially good on video because the source is small, but the imported diagram feels like a real slide asset.

Presenter notes are included

A Markdown deck can carry both the slide and the speaker script. -- Pitchdeck Markdown Import

Use ^ at the start of a line to add notes to the imported slide.

^ This note was written in the Markdown file. In the demo, open the slide notes panel after import and show that the note came through.

Great for repeatable workflows

• Product launch decks
• Weekly status updates
• Customer research summaries
• Education and workshop slides
• Developer docs turned into presentations

^ This slide uses build-list metadata. The imported layers remain editable, and the original intent is preserved as Markdown metadata.

Local links and anchors

Create internal slide links using normal Markdown anchors.

Jump back to the Deckset syntax slide

External links also import as text hyperlinks:

Visit Hypermatic

^ After import, click or inspect this text layer to show that links survive the trip from Markdown into Figma.

[fit] Try it yourself

1. Drag this .md file into Pitchdeck.
2. Wait for editable Figma slides.
3. Tweak text, colors, and layout.
4. Export a fresh PPTX.

Markdown is the draft. Figma is the studio.

^ Close by showing one quick text edit in Figma, then export or preview the deck. This lands the main value: the Markdown file is not the final artifact, it is the fast starting point.
