Extract text from R presentations (RPRES)
To convert RPRES presentations to another format, you need RStudio or other Text software.
To convert other file formats to the "Markdown Presentation File" file type, you need software like RStudio or a similar tool.
.RPRES files are plain text documents used to generate presentations within RStudio. They contain a mix of standard Markdown syntax and embedded code chunks written in the R programming language. Data scientists use them to seamlessly combine explanatory text, mathematical equations, and live data visualizations into a single reproducible slide deck.
The format is highly specific and practically useless for non-technical users. You cannot open a .RPRES file natively in standard office software like Microsoft PowerPoint or Apple Keynote. Sharing the raw file with colleagues means they must have a working R environment, the correct datasets, and specific packages installed just to view your slides.
To share your slides, you must convert the .RPRES file. The best target format is HTML, which preserves interactive graphics and layout elements. For static viewing, converting to PDF is highly recommended, though interactive plots will become static images. Exporting to PPTX is sometimes possible via intermediate packages like officedown, but it often breaks complex web styling.
Standard online converters fail to process .RPRES files because compiling the presentation requires executing the underlying R code to generate the data plots. This poses a massive security and resource challenge for generic servers. If our analysis detects a supported embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your RPRES file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert RPRES file to , you can use RStudio or similar software from the "Data Science Presentations" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our RPRES converter.
