Universal Compatibility
PptxGenJS works seamlessly in modern web and Node environments, thanks to dual ESM and CJS builds and zero runtime dependencies. Whether you're building a CLI tool, an Electron app, or a web-based presentation builder, the library adapts automatically to your stack.
Supported Platforms
- Node.js – generate presentations in backend scripts, APIs, or CLI tools
- React / Angular / Vite / Webpack – just import and go, no config required
- Electron – build native apps with full filesystem access and PowerPoint output
- Browser (Vanilla JS) – embed in web apps with direct download support
- Serverless / Edge Functions – use in AWS Lambda, Vercel, Cloudflare Workers, etc.
Vite, Webpack, and modern bundlers automatically select the right build via the
exportsfield inpackage.json. Tip: if you’re unsure, start with the ES module build (pptxgen.es.js). All modern bundlers and runtimes understand it, and it tree-shakes out the Node-only code paths automatically.
