PPTShowgen is a free, open-source-inspired productivity suite that runs entirely on your local machine — giving you powerful tools without sacrificing your privacy.
Our Mission
We believe productivity tools should be free, fast, and private. Most online tools require you to upload your sensitive documents to unknown servers, create accounts, and eventually pay for features you need. PPTShowgen was built to change that.
Our mission is to provide a complete document and presentation toolkit that runs on your own machine — no cloud uploads, no subscription fees, no data mining. Just tools that work.
What is PPTShowgen?
PPTShowgen is an all-in-one web application that you host on your own computer or server. It provides five powerful tools through a single beautiful interface:
- PPT Showgen — Create professional presentations with drag & drop, themes, and AI content generation
- BG Remover Pro — Remove image backgrounds using 3 different AI methods including local offline AI
- Image to Text (OCR) — Extract Hindi and English text from any image or scanned document
- Text to Document — Convert typed or pasted text into beautifully formatted PDF or Word documents
- PDF Editor Pro — Edit, annotate, merge, split, and protect PDF files directly in your browser
Why Local-First?
When you use a typical online tool, your files travel to servers in countries you don't know about, are processed by software you can't inspect, and may be stored indefinitely. For documents containing personal information, business data, or sensitive content — this is a serious concern.
PPTShowgen takes a different approach: your files never leave your machine. All AI processing, PDF editing, and OCR happens on your own CPU/GPU. The only exception is the optional remove.bg API integration, which you can choose to skip entirely.
Technology Stack
PPTShowgen is built with modern, open-source technologies:
- Backend: Python (Flask) — lightweight, fast web server
- AI Engine: rembg + U2Net — state-of-the-art background removal model
- PDF Processing: PyMuPDF (MuPDF engine) — the same engine used in professional PDF tools
- OCR: Tesseract — Google's open-source OCR engine, supporting 100+ languages
- Presentations: python-pptx — full PowerPoint file format support
- Frontend: Vanilla HTML/CSS/JS — no heavy frameworks, loads instantly
Who Uses PPTShowgen?
PPTShowgen is used by students, teachers, content creators, freelancers, and small businesses who need reliable productivity tools without the cost and privacy concerns of cloud-based alternatives. It's particularly popular among Hindi-speaking users in India who need proper Devanagari script support in their documents.
