The PowerPoint Mail Merge Service is a tool designed to automate the creation of personalized PowerPoint presentations. By using a PowerPoint template with placeholders and a CSV, JSON or an Excel(XLSX) file containing data, you can generate customized, data-drive presentations.
We currently support PowerPoint files in .pptx
format. Please ensure your file is in this format before uploading.
Placeholders are used in your PowerPoint template to denote where data from the CSV file should be inserted. We support three types of placeholders:
{{name}}
.img:
for image URLs, e.g., img:profile_picture
.qr:
for data requiring QR code generation, e.g., qr:contact_info
.You can upload your presentation by dragging and dropping your .pptx
file into the designated area on the form. Alternatively, you can click the "Browse Files" button to select your file.
Your CSV file should have a header row with column names matching the placeholders in your PowerPoint slide. Each subsequent row should contain the corresponding data for each placeholder.
Example CSV Format:
name,company,title,img:profile_picture,qr:contact_info
John Doe,Example Corp,Manager,https://pptxmailmerge.com/john.jpg,"John Doe, Example Corp, Manager, john.doe@example.com"
Jane Smith,Another Inc,Director,https://pptxmailmerge.com/jane.jpg,"Jane Smith, Another Inc, Director, jane.smith@example.com"
You can find sample data for each of the tools on their respective pages:
Ensure your CSV file is encoded in UTF-8 to support special characters. Our service automatically converts CSV content to UTF-8 to handle various character sets.

This issue can arise if the image URL provided in the data file is incorrect or inaccessible. Ensure that:
This error indicates that the specified image URL could not be reached or is invalid. Check that:
Use the qr:
prefix in your placeholder, followed by the name of the data column you want to convert into a QR code. Our service will automatically generate a QR code for each row in the CSV file.
Example:
qr:website_url
https://example.com/john-profile
https://example.com/jane-profile
This might happen if the data for the QR code is invalid or incomplete. Make sure that:
