Free Ruby Library to Create & Convert Presentation & Slides

Open Source Ruby API to Create, Edit, and Convert PowerPoint PPT and PPTX Presentations and Slides to to PDF, PowerPoint, or Slide Decks.

What is TTP Library?

Open-source libraries are essential for software developers aiming to build scalable, efficient applications, and the TPP Ruby Library is a standout choice for dynamic presentation generation. Hosted on GitHub, this free Ruby PowerPoint API empowers software developers, educators, and presenters to create interactive slide decks using Ruby’s clean and expressive syntax. Instead of relying on traditional design tools, TPP lets you create new presentations via Ruby by defining slide content, transitions, and structure programmatically. This enables reusable, maintainable code that can generate presentation slides from data and easily add text to presentations or integrate dynamic content.

Created by Christopher Browne, the TPP Ruby Presentation Library supports output in various formats like static HTML, terminal-based slides, PDF, and even presentations to PowerPoint PPTX through additional tools. With features like customizable themes, reusable slide components, and command-line integration, developers can customize slide layouts and enhance presentations with interactive elements. While it doesn’t directly handle PowerPoint to PDF via Ruby, it fits seamlessly into workflows that require automated presentation generation. TPP’s open-source nature makes it a powerful tool for developers seeking flexibility and efficiency in presentation creation.
